EXCMBR(start-mbr end-mbr)
specifies criteria by which file members are excluded from compression. In any case where a member
meets the criteria of both the SELMBR and EXCMBR parameters, the EXCMBR specification
overrides the selection of the member.
You can type in multiple sets of values for this parameter.
start-mbr specifies the name of the member to be excluded from compression or the first name in a
range of members to be excluded. If no members are to be excluded, this field should be left blank.
Possible values are:
member-name specifies the name of the file member to be excluded from compression.
generic*-member-name specifies a generic member name to exclude all members whose names
begin with the specified characters.
start-range specifies the first name in an alphanumeric range of members. Although member
names in a range are treated as generics, they cannot be used with an asterisk (*). The first and
last members specified in the range, as well as all members between, are excluded from
compression.
end-mbr specifies the last name in a range of members to be excluded from compression. Possible
values are:
*STARTMBR specifies that the name of the last member in the range is the same as the first
member in the range, limiting the range to a single member. You should also use this value if you
specified a generic in the starting member name (start-mbr) field. This is the default.
end-range specifies the last name in an alphanumeric range of members. Although member
names in a range are treated as generics, they cannot be used with an asterisk (*). The first and
last members specified in the range, as well as all members between, are excluded from
compression.
REPLACE (*NO
|*YES)
specifies whether to replace the output member if it exists. This parameter applies to all members.
Possible values are:
*NO
specifies that the member is not replaced if it exists. *NO is the default.
*YES specifies that the member is replaced if it exists.
SELMBR(start-mbr end-mbr new-mbr)
specifies criteria by which file members are selected for compression. In any case where a member
meets the criteria of both the SELMBR and EXCMBR parameters, the EXCMBR specification
overrides the selection of the member.
You can type in multiple sets of values for this parameter.
