EXCLUDE Keyword—Date Exclusion

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the EXCLUDE keyword to add, remove, or replace a list of dates that are specifically excluded from the calendar record in the SDT Record.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADD(SDT) CALENDAR(cal‑name)
             [YEAR(yyyy)]                   
             [DAYS(days)]
             [INCLUDE(mm/dd,...]
             [EXCLUDE(mm/dd,...)]

mm/dd

Lists specific dates (two digit month “mm”, two‑digit day “dd”) that are excluded in addition to the ones added with the DAYS keyword, or INCLUDE keyword.

Note: The format of the date in EXCLUDE is unaffected by the DATE control option. EXCLUDE has no effect unless the date had previously included TSS Commands using DAYS or INCLUDE.

This keyword is used with:

• The commands ADDTO, REMOVE, and REPLACE
• The SDT Record exclusively
• MISC3(SDT) authority

Example: EXCLUDE keyword

This example creates a calendar for the present year with April 16 disabled:

TSS ADDTO(SDT) CALENDAR(CAL1) 
               EXCLUDE(04/16)
               DAYS(WEEKDAY)
