My guess is that resolution of dynamic symbols can differ each time
they are interpreted, In my JCL coding, I use refer-backs so that
that any dataset is evaluated only once in the JCL. Further
references to that dataset do not use the dynamic symbol.

Thanks Sri, I did not know about SYSSYM=ALLOW. But that raises the
question why NOT always allow system symbols in every batch

then I'm just an application programmer who expects to be able to
use all of the available tools to get the job done.

Peter,
Not all shops SYSSYM=ALLOW defined. So if your jobclass is NOT
defined to allow symbols, the symbols will not be
translated. However with program EZACFSM1 will translate all the
symbols defined to the system.
Thanks,
