INCLUDE / EXCLUDE Statements (CTBJAFCP)

INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statements are supplied using DD statement SYSIN. The suffix * is permitted at the end of any of these parameters. * represents any number of characters (including no characters).

The scope of the copy can be limited by one or more INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statements. Each INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statement contains job name prefixes that limit the entries that are copied. If one or more INCLUDE statements are specified, only entries specified in the INCLUDE statements are copied. If one or more EXCLUDE statements are specified, the entries specified in the EXCLUDE statements are not copied. There is an OR relationship between multiple INCLUDE statements and between multiple EXCLUDE statements.

Each INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statement must be listed on a separate line.

Parameter JOBNAME can be specified in INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statements. This parameter represents the job name.

Note: If the SYSIN file contains no INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statements, all records from the source file are copied.
