A LIS file may also be a program listing file generated during the compilation process of VAX/VMS programs. It contains the source code of the program being compiled, with each line numbered to help users quickly reference them. If the compiler detects syntax errors during the compilation, the compiler adds them to the source code in the file, allowing developers to identify and address issues directly within the context of the program code.

More Information

Programmers typically use LIS files when working in the VAX/VMS environment, a legacy operating system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). They may use a VAX compiler, which generates LIS files, or a compiler in OpenVMS, the successor to VAX/VMS that retains compatibility with many of its file formats and utilities.

NOTE: LIS files generated by a compiler bear the same name as the related source code file.

How to open a LIS file

You can open LIS files with Software Resource International CHARON-VAX in Windows. For example, you can view an LIS file by typing TYPE example.lis in the CHARON-VAX command-line tool or edit a file by typing EDIT example.lis .
