Years ago I created an application that somewhat resembled your
requirement. I had to read a file that contained various values and
write each variable value as a PDSE member whose member name reflected
that value. I used DFSORT to create an 'include' member of DD cards
containing the members names. Since a date is your variable value,
DFSORT has many date manipulation capabilities, this may be the way to
go if you accept this departure from "JCL only" as the technique.
In my old app, once I created the member that contained the DD cards to
be 'included', the following job was submitted as the last step via
iebgener to the intrdr.

As far as know, this is not possible using only JCL.
You will have to use a separate job to either create the full job, or a small
section that will be included.
Any job scheduler will be able to do this easily.

Subject: JCL and date variables
Hi:
I have a question regarding JCL and date variables. I need to run a job daily,
whose output must be written to a partitionned dataset with a member name
referring to the day before job execution.
Example:
If the job runs today, january 7 of 2014, it must create the member F140106 (
and not F140107). That is because the job processes information from the day
before (and not from the day it is indeed running).
Is there a way to achieve this purely from JCL? we have z/OS 1.13.
Thanks in advance for your help,
JUAN MAUTALEN
