The Symbolic substitution is done at command interpretation time and it does appear to be for the entire command, even what is between single quotes.
I think what you need to do is set up a program that takes as a parm the JES2 command to be submitted into the system and then set up a started task that runs the program. Set the started task as the time that is started by the JES2 auto command.
