The Converter does symbol substitution for JCL.There is more flexibility for in-stream data.

Are the symbols above resolved by the converter or the scheduler, avoiding this problem? Also, is there a hazard that if the job runs at midnight (or any lesser boundary) the date may be obtained before midnight; the time the next day, resulting in a DATE.TIME almost 24 hours too small? Rexx handles this right. I suspect that JCL does not. <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fdocs%2Fen%2Fzos%2F2.5.0%3Ftopic%3Dfunctions-date&data=04%7C01%7Csmetz3%40gmu.edu%7Cd1c1b6ea0b9f44bf0ab508d9fcbee34b%7C9e857255df574c47a0c00546460380cb%7C0%7C0%7C637818719152239973%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=aupAsMHrlroM7APJW9Y0yvZlPAIkTunMLXUX1Y2mkJY%3D&reserved=0> -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
