We've yet to do so, for the very reasons that IBM hadn’t supported in batch all along. My main concern is unpredictable results. Am I worrying for nothing? _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Manager Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2018 10:49 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Use of dynamic system symbols in JCL **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** Yep, need to make sure SYSSYM=ALLOW for that jobclass, CLASS og XBMProc DupJob JobRC Active SysSym 1 PIN) NO MAXRC YES ALLOW 2 PIN) NO MAXRC YES ALLOW in a STC I run at IPL time I do about the same.... //CLEAN EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS DEL 'ATTS.PROD.&SYSNAME..IPLINFO' /* //IPLINFO EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=0M,PARM='IPLINFO', // DYNAMNBR=99 //SYSEXEC DD DSN=TS.USER.REXX,DISP=SHR //SYSTSPRT DD DSN=ATTS.PROD.&SYSNAME..IPLINFO,DISP=(,CATLG), // UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(25,5),RLSE), // RECFM=FBA,LRECL=134,BLKSIZE=0 //SYSTSIN DD DUMMY //* //IEBCOPY1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY,REGION=2M,TIME=10 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.&SYSNAME..PARMLIB //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG), // DSN=ATTS.PROD.SYSA.D&LYYMMDD..T&LHHMMSS..PARMLIB, // UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(CYL,(10,1,75),RLSE) of course STC ....

I'm sure you could put this in dynamically with a $T of some sort. You'll also need the two periods as Rob stated.
