The DATALIST Command:

The DATALIST command is used to show the data in a file. (Data displayed based on NeXtMidas 3.8+)

nM> datalist world.dbf 0 2   
 
0: Record index: 0.0
    FIPS = AC
    CODE = AG
    CODE_3 = ATG
    NAME = Antigua and Barbuda
    POPULATION =      83039
    LONGITUDE =  -61.783
    LATITUDE =  17.078
  1: Record index: 1.0
    FIPS = AG
    CODE = DZ
    CODE_3 = DZA
    NAME = Algeria
    POPULATION =   32854159
    LONGITUDE =    2.632
    LATITUDE =  28.163

The rules for DATALIST are similar to those for STATUS

X-Midas Users Take Note:
Think of data addressing as one-based in X-Midas (follows Fortran standards) and zero-based in NeXtMidas (follows C/C++/Java standards). Some people like to think of the difference in terms of using an index value in X-Midas and using an offset value in NeXtMidas, though this terminology is far from universal (officially Java and Fortran both use the term "index" but with different definitions).
