INCLUDE / EXCLUDE Statements (CTVDELI)

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

Multiple INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statements can be specified with a DAYS statement. They make up an INCLUDE / EXCLUDE block. Each statement can contain any or all of the parameters listed in Table 293, separated by a space. Each parameter can appear no more than once in each statement.

An index complies with an INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statement when it complies with all parameters specified in the statement. An index complies with an INCLUDE/EXCLUDE block if it complies any INCLUDE statement in the block and does not comply with any EXCLUDE statement in the block. If no INCLUDE statement is coded in an INCLUDE/EXCLUDE block, an index complies with such a block when it does not comply with any EXCLUDE statement in the block. An index always complies with an empty INCLUDE/EXCLUDE block.

An index complies with a selection group when it complies with all parameters specified in the DAYS statement and also complies with the related INCLUDE/EXCLUDE block.

An index file is deleted from DASD by the CTVDELI utility if the index matches the search criteria of any selection group in the utility input stream.
