LISTSERV is not a professional database system - it simply wasn't
designed to let people create arbitrary databases and build up menus for
data entry and that sort of things. It can be done, but you have to read
the source code to find out how.

From the README file you get with LISTSERV:
3. You were sent all the documentation that is available. Some of it is
obsolete - this is a known problem, not an error in the generation of
the package you were sent. Please do not send mail to LISTSERV lists
to ask for more documentation or for more recent copies of the
documentation you got - what you have is all that is available. You
are however encouraged to use the LISTSERV lists (see below), AFTER
CHECKING THEIR ARCHIVES FOR POSSIBLE PREVIOUS ANSWERS TO SIMILAR
QUESTIONS, if you have any question about LISTSERV that the
documentation does not answer.
For pointers to other possible sources of documentation, see posting
number 6203 from the archives of this list at SEARN (the posting number
may differ on other peers). There are at least 32 other hits on that same
question in the list archives.
