Special System Variables

Special System variables are resolved during specific parts of the life cycle of jobs.

The following are the types of special System variables:

• those that are resolved after a SMART Table is ordered but before any of the jobs in the table are ordered
• those that can only be resolved after the job has ended
• those that can only be resolved after job submission

Special System variables of the latter types, that is, those that can only be resolved after the job has ended and those that can only be resolved after job submission, can only be used with the post-processing parameters in the job definition, such as SHOUT and DO IF RERUN.
