RCLSKIP
Purpose
The RCLSKIP statement lists the INCLUDEs that you want to keep at the beginning of a JCL when it is tailored by the Restart and Cleanup function. You must write RCLSKIP in the partitioned data set member whose name is specified by the RCLOPTS SKIPINCLUDE keyword (for details about SKIPINCLUDE, see SKIPINCLUDE(member name)).
Format
Parameters
- INCLNAME (member name)
- Lists
the member names specified on the MEMBER=keyword of one or
more INCLUDE statements. You can use the asterisk (*) as a wild character
for partial matching as follows:
- As the last character
- For example, if you specify ABC* all the INCLUDEs whose names begin with ABC are left at the top of the JCL.
- As the first character
- For example, if you specify *ABC all the INCLUDEs whose names end with ABC are left at the top of the JCL.
- As the only character
- If you specify only the asterisk (*), all the INCLUDEs are left at the top of the JCL.
As a wildcard, you can use the asterisk only once. For example, if you specify:
all the INCLUDEs whose names end with A*B are considered as matching the search criteria, because the second asterisk is considered as a normal character.RCLSKIP INCLNAME(*A*B)
If you specify:
all the INCLUDEs whose names begin with A are considered as matching the search criteria, because the asterisk is considered as the last character.RCLSKIP INCLNAME(A*B)
If you specify:
the INCLUDE named JOBINCL and all the INCLUDEs whose names start with ZZZ (for example, ZZZ1, ZZZABC, and so on) are considered as matching the search criteria.RCLSKIP INCLNAME(JOBINCL,ZZZ*)
The EQQCLEAN pre-step will be added only after these INCLUDEs by the JCL tailoring process (for details about SKIPINCLUDE, see SKIPINCLUDE(member name)).
