It has to be at submit time. Firstly, the JCL is maintained by a change control
software, so a one time change is no option.
Yep, that explains it and is reasonable since that is how IBM has pretty much
used symbols before. I should have remembered that.

I've never used the option, but the way I read the manual (z/OS 2.3), it
specifically requires the LEVEL parameter. I assume that means you need to do a
SETMIG for LEVEL(SYS1) rather than at the DATASETNAME level.
I haven't tested this, it's just how I interpret the manual.
