An include statement identifies a member of a pds or pdse
that contains. This set of JCL statements is called an
include group. The system replaces the include statement
with the statements in the include group.

Answer / arnab gupta

INCLUDE Statement
A set of JCL statements coded within a member of a PDS can be included to a JCL using an INCLUDE statement. When the JES interprets the JCL, the set of JCL statements within the INCLUDE member replaces the INCLUDE statement.

Syntax
Following is the basic syntax of a JCL INCLUDE statement:

//name INCLUDE MEMBER=member-name
The main purpose of INCLUDE statement is reusability. For example, common files to be used across many JCLs can be coded as DD statements within INCLUDE member and used in a JCL.

Dummy DD statements, data card specifications, PROCs, JOB, PROC statements cannot be coded within an INCLUDE member. An INLCUDE statement can be coded within an INCLUDE member and further nesting can be done up to 15 levels.

Answer / sathya

include is use to extract the selected fields from input
dataset and copy to ouput dataset using sort utility.

//SORTTA EXEC
PGM=SORT
//SYSIN DD
*
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=
(52,9,CH,EQ,C’123456789’)

/*

//SORTIN DD DSN=…,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=…
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*
//
The INCLUDE control statement is used to establish
Selection criteria for the records to be included in the
Output dataset.
