The Exclude File

The CA Compress Exclude File contains three types of information: table statements, record entries, and comment statements.

Table Statements—A table statement is specified by the prefix character "*" in column 1, followed by a table name. The table names can be specified only once and must be syntactically correct, but can be in any order. The names and functions of the statements are described in the following section.

EXCLUDE-JOB: Excludes jobnames from VSAM compression and expansion.
EXCLUDE-MOD: Excludes VSAM compression and expansion for subroutine modules called from a processing program.
EXCLUDE-PGM: Excludes VSAM compression and expansion for programs invoked by an EXEC statement within a job or proc step.
EXCLUDE-JOB-SORT: Forces programs performing CI access to use record management access.
EXCLUDE-MOD-SORTForces programs performing CI access to use record management access.
EXCLUDE-PGM-SORT: Forces programs performing CI access to use record management access.
EXCLUDE-JOB-PST: Excludes jobnames from transparent physical sequential compression and expansion.
EXCLUDE-MOD-PST: Excludes transparent physical sequential compression and expansion for subroutine modules called from a processing program.
EXCLUDE-PGM-PST: Excludes transparent physical sequential compression and expansion for programs invoked by an EXEC statement within a job or proc step.
Records: A record entry follows a table statement, and must begin in column 1.
Comment: A comment statement is the character "*" in the first column, followed by a blank.
