>Think "Black Team". Sorry, but that is not relevant. We try not to waste time and resources implementing things that no one needs (with less than 100% success, I'm sure). It is not a question of exercising the outlying cases of an implementation trying to break something.

There is no intrinsic support in "GET" to ask for and/or get symbol substitution; it is only in JES instream data set processing (not a great state of affairs, in my opinion) >[S]hortly before the jobstep program >attach" sounds far too late for JES JCL symbol substitution. Perhaps I am missing something. Why would it be "too late"? It is before the program gets control. It is after the JCL symbol values are known.
