USERIDX (USX)

The USERIDX parameter specifies a user identification range that excludes a group of members based on the user ID that last updated and saved a member. This information is a PDS statistic that is stored in the directory. Members without PDS statistics are not selected, because they were not created (STATS OFF) or the statistics were deleted.

The syntax of the USERIDX parameter is:

USERIDX=(from-value,to-value)
        (,to-value)
        (from-value)
        from-value

from-value,to-value

This variables specify the FROM and TO endpoints for user IDs to exclude from the member list. The user IDs can be complete or partial. Pattern characters are not allowed. As with MBRNAME parameter, the FROM value is padded with low values, and the TO value is padded with high values.

Example 1
$$DD01 LIST USERIDX=(USERID1,USERID5)

This example excludes all members that were last updated and saved by user ID USERID1, USERID2, USERID3, USERID4, or USERID5.

Example 2
$$DD01 LIST USERIDX=(USERID2,USERID2)

This example excludes all members that were last updated and saved by user ID USERID2.

Example 3
$$DD01 LIST USERIDX=USERID2

This example excludes all members that were last updated and saved by user ID USERID2 or user IDs of higher values.
