ASE doesn't offer much in the way of SQL features, and one of the many
features it doesn't offer is LIST.

For the record:

ASE 12.5 offers AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN and SUM.

SQL Anywhere 9.0.2 offers AVG, COVAR_POP, COVAR_SAMP, COUNT, CUBE,
CUME_DIST, DENSE_RANK, GROUPING, GROUPING SETS, LIST, MAX, MIN, OVER,
PARTITION BY, PERCENT_RANK, RANGE, RANK, REGR_AVGX, REGR_AVGY,
REGR_COUNT, REGR_INTERCEPT, REGR_R2, REGR_SLOPE, REGR_SXX, REGR_SXY,
REGR_SYY, ROLLUP, ROW_NUMBER, STDDEV, STDDEV_POP, STDDEV_SAMP, SUM,
VAR_POP, VAR_SAMP and VARIANCE.

You might try writing a stored procedure containing a cursor loop to
build the list.
