The listing is produced as a spool file for the job you use to enter the CRTPGM command. The command default, *NONE, is to not produce this information but you can select to generate this as printed output at three levels of detail as a value in the DETAIL parameter:

The binder listing includes the following sections depending on the value specified for DETAIL:
