See COND Parameter (Required) for a complete description of comparisons and logical expressions.

Specify the INCLUDE or OMIT parameter to indicate which records are to be included in or omitted from each output file. These parameters let you create multiple output files which contain different records. The default is to include all sorted or merged records in the output file.

The comparison determines which records are included or omitted. When no data records are to be included in the output file(s) (when running a test, for example), specify either INCLUDE=NONE or OMIT=ALL.

Note: The location within the data records of the fields specified in the INCLUDE/OMIT parameter will be based on the formatting of the record after processing by an E15/E32 exit, the INREC control statement, the OUTREC control statement, and an E35 exit, but before processing due to the OUTREC and/or report writing parameters of the OUTFIL control statement. 

The following four parameters (STARTREC, ENDREC, SAVE, and SPLIT) are related to the previous parameter (INCLUDE/OMIT) in that they specify records to be included for OUTFIL processing. However, these four options specify records in bulk rather than through a comparison condition.
