The EXCLUDE primary command excludes data sets from a list based on a character string. Use this format:
>>-EXCLUDE--+-------------------+--+-----+--+--------+----------> '-character--string-' '-ALL-' '-PREFIX-' >--+------+--+-------+--+-------+--+--------+--+------+---------> '-NEXT-' '-CHARS-' '-FIRST-' '-SUFFIX-' '-LAST-' >--+------+--+------+------------------------------------------>< '-WORD-' '-PREV-'
You can use these operands with the EXCLUDE command:
- character string
- Tells ISPF which data set to exclude from the list.
- ALL
- Tells ISPF to exclude every data set in the list.
- NEXT| FIRST | LAST | PREV
- Operands that define the starting point, direction, and extent of the lines to exclude.
- PREFIX | CHARS | SUFFIX | WORD
- Operands that set the conditions for a character string match.
For example, this command tells ISPF to exclude a data set that
includes BILBO3 in the name from a list:
EXCLUDE BILBO3
