3.1.1.1 Runtime Parameter Features


The VCC runtime parameters can be broken down into the
following functional areas:

    o  Scan limiting parameters
    o  Recording parameters
    o  VCC internal function parameters
    o  VCC report generation parameter


Scan Limiting Parameters

Both the standard VCC collection and HFS collection processes
enable you to limit the scan to certain DASD volumes, VSAM or
ICF catalogs, and other data sets.  This is accomplished
through the use of INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameter keywords.
Both specifications have been provided for ease of use, each
being mutually exclusive of the other.  For example, if you
have 80 DASD volumes and wish to collect space utilization
data for all except five system volumes, it is easier to
build an EXCLUDE list specifying the five system volumes to
exclude, rather than building an INCLUDE list specifying the
75 DASD volumes to be monitored by VCC.
