Richard, Ahh, exactly like exclude.dir, the exclude.fs is processed first. I'll revert to the old dsm.sys immediately. I have done the dsmc q inclexcl previously. I had not looked at q opt. Is there anything specific I should look for in options? I have included a snippet below. This is the result of the "q inclexcl" AFTER I reverted to the old dsm.sys. This should still be relevant, because the problem existed before I edited the excludes to exclude.fs.
