Excluding specified spaces from a wildcard specification

The BMC AMI Copy EXCLUDE option allows you to specify spaces (by name or wildcard pattern) for exclusion from a wildcard space specification.

This is useful when, for example, some spaces should be copied only using a particular SHRLEVEL.

The following example copies all table spaces in the current subsystem except those in databases starting with BMC and the space CCB.MYSPACE:

COPY TABLESPACE *.*
     EXCLUDE BMC*.*,CCB.MYSPACE
. . . . more options

The items in the list of spaces following the EXCLUDE option must be separated by commas; also, the list can be enclosed in parentheses.
