INCLUDE

Data set

dsn

Specifies the name of a data set eligible to be dumped. You can use either a fully qualified data set name or a partially qualified data set name. See Filtering by data set names. If INCLUDE is omitted (but EXCLUDE or BY is specified) or if INCLUDE(**) is specified, all data sets are eligible to be selected for dumping.

Note:

1. You must use FILTERDD when you have more than 255 entries in a list that is created by using the INCLUDE, EXCLUDE, or BY keywords.
2. DFSMSdss does not support INCLUDE filtering of non-VSAM data sets using an alias.

For more information, see BY and EXCLUDE.

z/OS UNIX files

pnm

Specifies a path name, which is concatenated to the WORKINGDIRECTORY to form an absolute path to the file to be backed up. See DFSMSdss filtering—choosing the z/OS UNIX files you want processed.

Note:

1. Relative path names are not supported.
2. Attributes are stored in the backup for any files that are selected during filtering for directories beginning after the WORKINGDIRECTORY. This includes attributes for any directories within a path specification.
3. If a path name resolves to a directory, only the attributes for the directory are processed. None of its members are processed. Recursion is not supported.
