.length/.width

Set Listing Page Size

Syntax

               .length [page length]

              .width [page width]

Description

Two directives allow you to control the size of the output listing file.

The .length directive sets the page length of the output listing file. It affects the current and following pages. You can reset the page length with another .length directive.

  • Default length: 60 lines. If you do not use the .length directive or if you use the .length directive without specifying the page length, the output listing length defaults to 60 lines.
  • Minimum length: 1 line
  • Maximum length: 32 767 lines

The .width directive sets the page width of the output listing file. It affects the next line assembled and the lines following. You can reset the page width with another .width directive.

  • Default width: 132 characters. If you do not use the .width directive or if you use the .width directive without specifying a page width, the output listing width defaults to 132 characters.
  • Minimum width: 80 characters
  • Maximum width: 200 characters

The width refers to a full line in a listing file; the line counter value, SPC value, and object code are counted as part of the width of a line. Comments and other portions of a source statement that extend beyond the page width are truncated in the listing.

The assembler does not list the .width and .length directives.

Example

The following example shows how to change the page length and width.

********************************************
**        Page length = 65 lines          **
**        Page width = 85 characters      **
********************************************
          .length    65
          .width     85
********************************************
**        Page length = 55 lines          **
**        Page width = 100 characters     **
********************************************
          .length    55
          .width     100
