Well, it would help to see the Q INCLEXCL output, to confirm findings.

Does the scheduler by any chance use a different options file that might
have different include/exclude statements? What does "dsmcutil query
/name:servicename" show? ("servicename" is the name of the scheduler
service)

Best regards,

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
