VMS Help MESSAGE, /LIST  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Controls whether an output listing is created and, optionally,
    provides an output file specification for the listing.

  $ MESSAGE/LIST=MSGOUTPUT  COBOLMSG

      This MESSAGE command compiles the message source file
      COBOLMSG.MSG and creates the output listing MSGOUTPUT.LIS in
      your current directory.
