Issue a D SYMBOLS. You should have &SYSDATE and &SYSTEM available. Check the Init & Tuning Guide/Reference for "static system symbols". If not, there are a number of programs on the CBT tape to perform symbol substitution @ submission time.

The requirement is to NOT use a GDG So is it possible to code //DD1 DD DSN= HLQ.D&Date..T&Time..LLQ Are there symbolics in the z/OS V1.12 system that is available to the batch JCL during conversion? I am not looking to create a REXX or CLIST to submit the job to put in the date and time. Just basic JCL process. I have been reading the JCL Reference it seems that only STC JCL has this functions. Not Batch JCL Thanks for any commentary Lizette ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
