What are you trying to say? There is no such thing in JCL as overriding a subparameter of PARM. You can specify the values of symbols used to construct PARM and you can specify a replacement string constructed as a constant or with symbols.
How the evaluated string is interpreted is up to the called program, but how it can be specified is strictly up to the Converter. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

But PARM is merely a string. Its interpretation is up to the PGM=. If there are default subparameters which are not explicitly overridden, it is the prerogative of that PGM to treat them as they may be documented. -- giil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
