Add include option to DSFS

There is only one valid value for HLQ_MODE and that is EXCLUDE. To enable controlled use of DSFS in production, HLQ_MODE=EXCLUDE is insufficient. What sense does the parameter make if there is only one permissible value, namely EXCLUDE? How would I have to define this exclude list if I initially only want to allow a few z/OS datasets for DSFS? We want to introduce DSFS step by step. To do this, it is necessary to be able to define the HLQ_LIST as an include list, and pattern matching must also be possible. Here's an example:

HLQ_MODE=INCLUDE

HLQ_LIST=USER1.*,USER2.*.CNTL,SP.SYSMOD.*

In this example, all files with HLQ USER1, all files from USER2 with the last level qualifier CNTL and all files with the HLQ SP.SYSMOD would be allowed. All other files would not be allowed.

Or completely remove the HLQ_MODE parameter and allow a combination of INCLUDE and EXCLUDE list statements. For example:

EXCLUDE=*

INCLUDE=SP.*.CNTL,SP.*.SRC,USER?.*.JCL
