Automan must reinstate disabled statements/blocks when a report is generated to display these disabled statement

Because it is not necessary to create a listing each time an automation table is reloaded, the option to not createa listing is useful and prevent any problem with the DSILIST dataset being full. System Automation provides such option with the AOFMATLISTING global.

If at a certain time, we want to see which statements/blocks are turned disabled, the options 9 and then 6 ares suppose to display them. Because no listing is created, one is done after your confirmation. In the confirmation panel, it is indicated that the disabled statements will be reset. Therefore, there is nothing to display after such action.

When you enter AUTOMAN, the automation tables loaded  with disabled statements are clearly shown (ALTERED). So when trying to display the disabled statements when no listing available, the EZLE8500 procedure  should call the EZLEF002 procedure with the the SWAPI parameter instead of SWAP when the table is already noted as ALTERED.

This behavior could be dangerous if someone uses the AUTOMAN command to display disabled statements and leaves them reset.
