EXCLUDE Record

OPTIONAL

Use the EXCLUDE record to exclude certain parts of domains specified on the preceding EXCEPT record from the backup. You can exclude:

Count-key-data (CKD) cylinders and tracks
Fixed-block-architecture (FBA) blocks
CMS or SFS files

You cannot use this record to exclude BFS files from a backup.

A file can include multiple EXCLUDE records. Multiple EXCLUDE records that specify the same parameter can follow one EXCEPT record, but not multiple EXCLUDE records that specify different parameters. EXCLUDE records that specify extents for CKD or FBA can follow the EXCEPT record in any order.

Either EXCLUDE or INCLUDE records can follow one EXCEPT record, but not both.

EXCLUDE {“Parms”} 

Parms:

  CKD begcyl begtrk endcyl endtrk
