In the recent postings on Include/Exclude, there isn't mention of the use of the 'dsmc query inclexcl' command. That can be a great aid in illuminating how the Include/Exclude statements "compile" - particularly in conjunction with the out-of-sight client option set Include/Excludes that reside on the server. Take advantage of all the TSM aids available to you, to make life a little easier.
