Include statement is used with sort utility to specify the conditions on which the records should be filtered.
Eg:
//sysin dd *
Sort fields = copy
Include cond=(1,5,CH’PRABHU’,A)
/*

Include is also used with IEBEDIT utility
to specify the steps need to be run or other conditions.
Eg:
//step0010 exec pgm= IEBEDIT
.
.
.
//sysin dd *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE
STEPNAME=(STEP0005,STEP0015,….)
/*
