Syntax: EXCLUDE { ELEMENT | RECORD | CLEAR }

Ensures that a graphical element is evaluated only once in the script. Otherwise, the element is evaluated more than once if the script file contains two or more scripts (for example, when doing spatial analysis). The elements are excluded from the current script file only or until the EXCLUDE CLEAR command is used.

The EXCLUDE RECORD command ensures that a database record is only evaluated once in the script. If more than one element is associated with the same database record. but the attributes of this record are to be used once, use the EXCLUDE RECORD command after the database record has been evaluated the first time. The database records are excluded from the current script file only or until the EXCLUDE CLEAR command is used.

EXCLUDE CLEAR empties the list of excluded elements or database records, that is, no graphical elements or database records are excluded after calling EXCLUDE CLEAR.

EXCLUDE ELEMENT and EXCLUDE RECORD can only be used within the validation part of the script, while EXCLUDE CLEAR can be used either within the validation part or outside the script definition.
