EXCLUDE Control Statement

The EXCLUDE statement is used to specify initialization settings that define events that should be ignored by the CAISDI/med. For instance, abend codes that are to be ignored for all CA products by the CAISDI/med are defined using the EXCLUDE statement. Note the abend code specifications provided on the EXCLUDE statement are used in addition to abend code specifications provided on any given product specific EVENT statements.

Use this syntax for the EXCLUDE statement:

EXCLUDE ABEND
        CODES=((abend[,reason])[,(abend[,reason])]...[,(abend[,reason])])
ABEND

This required positional parameter indicates that the exclusion criteria provided is for abend events.

CODES

This optional parameter indicates a list of specific abend codes that are to be ignored by the CAISDI/med abend event intercept. Each list element is comprised of a positional abend code followed by an optional positional abend reason code.

The positional abend code can be specified as a hexadecimal value for a system abend code such as X'222' or it can be specified as a decimal value for a user abend code such as 1222. The optional positional abend reason code can be specified as a decimal value, such as 12, or as a hexadecimal value, such as X'C'. Up to sixteen positional abend code / reason code combinations can be specified on a single EXCLUDE ABEND initialization statement. If more than sixteen abend codes are desired for exclusion from CAISDI/med processing, define additional EXCLUDE ABEND statements in the MEDPARMS data set.

The following is an example of the EXCLUDE control statement:

EXCLUDE  ABEND,
         CODES=((X'047'),
                (X'13E'),(X'33E'),
                (X'322'))
