Differences Between the DISPLAY and LIST Commands

Last reviewed: June 26, 1995

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.01, 1.02, 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

The LIST and DISPLAY commands each display information on the screen. The LIST command produces a continuous display of information, whereas the DISPLAY command pauses after each screen until you press a key to continue.

When you are printing, you may prefer to use the LIST command because it gives a continuous list. When you are viewing the information on the screen instead of viewing printed output, you may prefer to use the DISPLAY command.
