CONNECT
Controls how FM/Db2 connects to Db2® subsystems or data sharing groups.
DEFINED
Connection will only be attempted to active Db2® subsystems or groups defined in the FMN2SSDM macro. The default is DEFINED.
ANY
Will allow FM/Db2 to attempt to connect to any specified SSID, whether defined in the FMN2SSDM macro or not. FM/Db2 will only attempt connection to an SSID (either Db2® subsystem or data sharing group) that is active on the local z/OS® system.

CONNECT=ANY over-rides DISPLAY=UNAVAIL and DISPLAY=HIDDEN specified in the FMN2SSDM macro, however the connection will only be attempted if the specified subsystem or group is active.

EXCLUDE
Excludes Hidden or Unavailable Db2® systems when attempting to connect to a Db2® system. If no parameters are specified for EXCLUDE, both Hidden and Unavailable systems are excluded. If both parameters are specified, separate them with a comma. The parameters may be abbreviated to H and U respectively.
