AutoEdit Variables in Other Job Scheduling Definition Statements

In addition to specifying a value for a user-defined AutoEdit variable in a SET VAR statement in the job scheduling definition, a value can also be provided in a DO SET statement. However, because a DO SET statement, like any DO statement, is a conditional Post-processing parameter, it is only activated on a subsequent run of the job, such as a rerun or restart, and then, only provided that the particular ON criteria are satisfied.

AutoEdit terms can also be specified in the following statements in the job scheduling definition:

• SYSOUT and DO SYSOUT

  File names for SYSOUT and DO SYSOUT handling can be specified using AutoEdit variables whenever SYSOUT Option F, the copy to file or sysout archiving option, is specified, as shown in this example

  SYSOUT OP F PRM GPL.%%JOBNAME.D%%ODATE.%%JOBID.T%%TIME

• SHOUT, DO SHOUT, and DO MAIL

  System AutoEdit variables can be used in shouted messages, such as

  MSG  JCL ERROR IN JOB %%JOBID %%STEP

• MEMLIB and OVERLIB

  AutoEdit variables can be used in the MEMLIB and OVERLIB fields to specify the appropriate library, as shown in this example

  OVERLIB CTM.LIB.JCL.OVER%%ODATE
