Warning with proc FREQ and list outcum options

proc freq data = sasHelp.class;
    tables Sex*Age / list out = ___temp outCum;
run;
WARNING: The OUTCUM option is available only for one-way and LIST tables.

Should this warning say

WARNING: The OUTCUM option is available only for one-way tables.

or have I misunderstood the list option?

The output dataset does not have the cumulative variables, although the ODS output does. The same happens on colleagues' machines.

3        tables Sex*Age / list out = ___temp outCum;
