How to use exclude-patterns from a file

I want to use awk to search for pattern in multiple files but exclude some patterns from file

This is the code I have tried

BEGIN { print "Begin Processing of various Records"}
/Type.*ABC/ {a=1} /999/{a=0; if (a==1) print a;}
END { print "Process Complete" }

Examples:

This is the file example

Resources:
  CODE:
    Type: "ABC::DEF::AVC"
    Type: "ABC::DEF::999"
    Type: "ABC::DEF::ZZZ"

Now suppose I have file excludes with content

999
888
ZZZ

Now, I want to display all lines with match first pattern but excludes if any pattern from excludes is found.

if your data in 'd' file, try gnu awk:

awk '/Type.*ABC/ && $0 !~ /999|888|ZZZ/' d

Is this what you're trying to do?

$ awk -F'[:"]' 'NR==FNR{a[$0];next} /Type.*ABC/ && !($(NF-1) in a)' excludes file
    Type: "ABC::DEF::AVC"
