The EXCLUDE DSN parameter is used to exclude data sets (databases, SYS1 files, and so on) from data set cleanup processing.
The format of the EXLUDE DSN parameter is
EXCLUDE DSN dataset
where dataset is the data set name, prefix, suffix or mask
For example, assume that DSN SYS1.PROCLIB is to be excluded from processing by Control-M/Restart:
EXCLUDE DSN SYS1.PROCLIB
Mask characters are supported as follows:
? represents any one character. For example
EXCLUDE DSN SYS?.PROCLIB
* represents any number of characters (including no characters). A supplied data set name ending with * acts as a prefix. For example
EXCLUDE DSN SYS1*
Any number of EXCLUDE DSN statements can be specified.
When excluding GDG data sets, specify qualifiers in the base portion of the data set name only. Do not specify the last qualifier, that is, GnnnVmm.
For example, if you want to exclude all data sets in the Generation Data Group USER.TAPEGDG, use one of the following
EXCLUDE USER.TAPEGDG
EXCLUDE USER.TAPEGDG*
Do not use
EXCLUDE USER.TAPEGDG.G*
