Thanks. I have no interest in "improving" JCL. I want to be able to use a
single common control file to specify the name of a file for an STC that
could be unique across systems:
MYFILE=MY.&SYSNAME..DATA.FILE
MY.&SYSNAME..DATA.FILE would ultimately end up in an fopen():
fopen("MY.&SYSNAME..DATA.FILE", ...); // would actually be a chr* variable
not a literal
Yes, I could just write an STC to try it with but gee, isn't the point of
documentation so that you can know how things work WITHOUT having to run
experiments?

Looks like there are a few examples on the CBTTAPE.
