Everything about CLIST

Programming language

CLIST is a procedural programming language for Time Sharing Option (TSO) in SVS and MVS systems. It originated in OS/360 Release 20 and has assumed a secondary role since the availability of Rexx in TSO/E Version 2. In its basic form, a CLIST program is a list of commands to be executed in strict sequence. OS/VS2 R3.6 (MVS) added If-Then-Else logic and loop constructs to CLIST. The term CLIST is also used for command lists written by users of NetView. Wikipedia →
