DFSMShsm for files exclude criteria in data set

Our current Spectrum Protect environment uses a standard set of criteria to use for all of the backups. The DFSMShsm BACKDS, HBACKDS, and hbackup commands need the ability to specify a file or data set containing the necessary Exclude criteria during backup processing. Our exclude criteria file has many different exclude criteria. Specifying these criteria on each of our planned backup commands is burdensome and can lead to
mistakes.
