| Description |
generates formatted output based upon the specified arguments.
If an "itemlist" is specified, items are listed in order of the item-ids in the "itemlist". If an "itemlist" is not specified, items are listed by the groups into which they hash, and within each group, each item is listed in the order in which it was entered or most recently updated. The report is either produced in a "columnar" or a "non-columnar" format. This is determined by the total width of all the attribute-defining items requested, plus the width of the item-id column. If the total of all these adi's (plus one space between each column) is less than the current device width (defined by the "term" command), the report is produced in columns. Otherwise, the report goes to the non-columnar output format. |

| Warnings | In D3 systems, if "by" is provided with a verb that does not "naturally" sort (such as the "list" verb), the verb is changed to its "sorting" counterpart. (e.g. "list" becomes "sort", "select" becomes "sselect", etc.) This does NOT work, however, on R83 releases. |
| Compatibility | D3 7.0 AP R83 |
