Not directly.  The LISTF command is parsed in compatibility mode (CM)
and follows all CM parsing rules.  It also does not support POSIX syntax
filenames.  LISTFILE is parsed in native mode (NM) and supports POSIX
syntax filenames.  So, all parameter parsing and validating is done
separately; however LISTFILE and LISTF both call the same code to
traverse the diretory, collect the data and perform the output to $STDLIST.
LISTF just supports less features than LISTF.  Besides the filename syntax,
other differences (off the top of my head) are:  LISTFILE supports:
  - ;name=
  - ;seleq=[...]
  - ;tree | notree
  - ;temp and ;permtemp
  - format names rather than just numbers
  - a list of filesets rather than a single fileset
  - some output differences, most noted when the output is redirected to
    a file, or is generated in a job.

Hope that helps,
