Ohhhhh might want to double check that statement...
last I checked it will not use to determine if the actual "archive" will
occur but it WILL (or used to) bind that file to any management class
specified...
example (last time I checked)
if you have the line in your inclexcl.list of
        exclude /home/myid/testfile  10yrarch_mc
and you do something like
        dsmc archive /home/myid/testfile
it will be bound to your/the 10yrarch_mc management class
haven't checked lately but my last test indicated the above statement is
(was) true
