No.  DATA_TYPE=ANSI and DATA_TYPE=LIST are mutually exclusive.

Since ANSI escape sequences can change the size and spacing of 
characters, results could be pretty weird if you could use both ANSI 
translation and the gray-bar output of the LIST datatype.

Someone else might have one.  But the LIST datatype is more than just a 
device control module, since it keeps track of page numbers, line 
numbers and file name.  Its output is hardcoded into DCPS itself.
