Have you considered the system symbol interpreter called EZACFSM1? I
checked to make sure it was available in Comm Server 1.7. This is what your
sample job will turn into:
I've followed the old, frequent thread about variables in JCL for ages,
and it never occurred to me that this program

Re: symbolic date parameter (EZACFSM1)

A shell script will also work just fine to extract the system date in
just about any format practical.
See the MAN pages for the UNIX DATE command.
HTH,

I came up against this and now build the whole ftp job using a batch
initiated REXX program.

At the risk of going overboard, here is JCL that will do this with Rexx.
The only advantage of this over PGM=EZACFSM1 (which is simpler) is that you
can do date manipulation (e.g. yesterday or next month).
The comments are, of course, optional.

Why submit a separate job? Do the FTP in the script.

Trying to do an ftp from mainframe (z/OS v1.7) to a network server.
I would like to be able append the system date to the dataset in the put
statement.
Is there a symbolic parameter for date that will allow me to do this?

//STEP01 EXEC
I wrote a small program that took the parm (after the system
substituted the variables) and wrote it as a F 80 80 file w 1 record.
Ran it once for each card then used all the files for the input file.

Why don't you use a REXX script that will generate your JCL and parms and

That way you will get the date from REXX functions.

We ftp backup files to a remote server and I needed a generation of 3

Thanks! I didn't know about this. I still know very little;

John,
I like it!, but in your example I think you meant to use PGM=COZBATCH, and
not PROC=COZPROC
Also (a nit), but you have a typo (two different names for the shell
variable).
This is a good example of how inline use of the z/OS Unix shell can be used
as an effective scripting language in the
