Many System variables specify dates, or parts of dates, in various formats. Therefore, it is useful to understand the categories of dates with which Control-M is concerned.
Dates are divided into the categories listed below. For a description of these categories, see Date Definition Concepts.
System variables that specify working dates begin %%R (%%RDATE, %%RDAY, and so on).
System variables that specify original scheduling dates begin %%O (%%ODATE, %%ODAY, and so on).
System variables that specify system dates have no special prefix other than %% (%%DATE, %%DAY, and so on).
Although these types of dates are resolved in Gregorian format, Julian formats can also be requested (%%JULDAY, %%OJULDAY and %%RJULDAY).
The following date AutoEdit System variables are supported by Control-M in JCL and in certain job scheduling definition parameters (for more information, see AutoEdit Usage in the Job Scheduling Definition):
