Thanks to responses. Follow-on question - I have looked through JCL Ref Guide & Init & Tuning Guide and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I am looking for exhaustive built-in symbols list (such as &SYSUID) that can be used in batch jobs. I'm not talking about the system symbols (such &SMFID) which are defined in SYS1.PARMLIB. To be more specific, I was hoping there was a built-in symbol to capture the current jobname such as &JOBNAME, but when I used that in test job it got substituted with "JES2" in converted JCL. Is there some exhaustive list of these "Job specific" built in symbols documented someplace as I don't see in JCL reference guide.
How can I derive current jobname (or stepname, etc) to use in my JCL stream? Seems a simple ask but why so hard to find this fully documented anywhere?
