SELECT and EXCLUDE Rule #1

For each SELECT or EXCLUDE command, all parameters specified must be true for the statement to be true. This is equivalent to AND selection based on the parameters on any individual SELECT or EXCLUDE commands.

For example,

SELECT VOLUMES=TSO/,CRITERIA=(DSORG,EQ,PS),DSN=/

would hold true only for sequential data sets on your TSO volumes, not for any other data set on your TSO volumes, nor for any sequential data sets on any other volume.

Note: SCAN CATALOGS or FIND commands compare the select volume list to the primary volume only for non-VSAM multivolume data sets.
