Victor, I don't know. I haven't tried that myself. I was just quoting a line from the JCL Reference verbatim that says &SYSUID is the only system symbol you can use in JCL. I haven't used ASASYMBM. I looked it up. I suspect that what you are passing to ASASYMBM is just the parameter string as you see it, and ASASYMBM itself is resolving the values rather than the JCL.
