When you are running the CA Repository Exchange for Assembler, the amount of data processed during a load can get very large. If you want to eliminate data that would normally be processed and rejected during the scan you can create an EXCLUDE file.
The EXCLUDE file can be used to bypass LINKAGE file records. If used, the EXCLUDE file consists of a list of program names. If the program you are importing calls a program identified in the EXCLUDE file, LINKAGE information for that program is not stored in the CA Repository for z/OS. This feature is useful for programs that are called so often that linkage information loses its value (for example, ABEND or ABORT handling routine).
The EXCLUDE file lists programs from the linkage file that are to be ignored. Typical programs may include:
The EXCLUDE file is an 80-character, fixed block file.
Columns 1 through 32 contain the program or procedure names to be excluded.
