INCLUDE control statement

The INCLUDE control statement has the following syntax:


Syntax

>>-INCLUDE--filename--+--------------------------+-------------><
                      | .-,--------------------. |   
                      | V                      | |   
                      '---ddname--(--member--)-+-'

filename: The name of the file to be included.
ddname: A ddname associated with a file to be included.
member: The member of the DD to be included.

The prelinker processes INCLUDE statements like the DFSMS linkage editor does with the following exceptions:

INCLUDEs of identical member names are not allowed.
INCLUDEs of both a ddname and a member from the same ddname are not allowed. The prelinker ignores the second INCLUDE.
