Prevent Statements from Being Negated

By default, GDIF lets you dynamically negate any LOCAL or GLOBAL statement. You can use the EXEMPT command to do this. This causes GDIF to ignore that statement when processing requests.

To prevent a statement from being negated, you need to specify PERMANENT=YES on that statement. For example, to prevent the LOCAL statement for the SYS1.LINKLIB data set from being negated, you could specify this statement in the GDIEXMPT member:

LOCAL RNAME=SYS1.LINKLIB PERMANENT=YES

You can specify PERMANENT=NO if you want to be able to negate that statement.
