You'll be wanting symbol substitution in the instream data next!
That actually was I wanted to help me manage for my test/education systems
where I did a great deal of work at the (VM) console. I just wanted to be able
to set up started task procedures in order to do all sorts of operations without
having to bother to start up TSO. This often meant setting up procedures
calling utility programs which - since time immemorial - make that the mid-
'60s - have used much of the time trivial statements in a SYSIN data set.

You might like to look at Declaring Card Files in Jol here:

You can also use any Symbolic Variable is a card image file - it will
get replaced by the current value of the Symbolic. When the program
reads the card file at execution time, it will read the data with
Symbolic replaced.
There are also some predefined Symbolics that you can use in Jol. Some
of these are:
*Jol Automatically Initialized Symbolic Variables*
Variable Explanation
%SYSDATE The current date in Julian format e.g. 86290
%DAY MONDAY, TUESDAY, etc.
%MONTH JANUARY, FEBRUARY, etc.
%MONTHNO 01, 02 Through 12
%DAYNO 01 through 31
%YEAR 1987, 1988, etc.
%HOURS 0 through 23
%MINS 0 through 59
%SECS 0 through 59
%SYSUID System user identification
%SYSPREF Dataset Prefix or Current Directory
%SYSPFK Program function key number from PANELs
%SYSTEM MVS, DOS, VM, PC, UNIX etc.
%SPOOL HASP, ASP, JES1, JES2, JES3, or Blank
%TSOCLASS Contains the SYSOUT class used by TSO to
retrieve output from a background job
