I apologize for my ignorance since I am totally unaware of that command.
If I had known about it, I would have persued the issue using it.

I have asked the user to run the command (speaking of.....don't you
realize that most Windows folks don't know how to run non-gui processes
;-) and will check the results !

Thank you IBM for this new tool !

No one wants to use 'dsmc q inclexcl'...  The developers went to all that
effort to provide a convenient way to verify client-server Include/Exclude
specifications in a "compiled" manner, and all for naught.   ;-0
Always do that instead of inspecting physicals, to see what the product
believes the composite really is.  Then you can pursue from that
standpoint
of validation.
