Owner |
---|---|

%%..\IDJOB9\ |
Global variable %%\VAR1 is owned by job IDJOB9. (The paired dots move the variable up the hierarchy to group IDGRP3. The \IDJOB9 moves the variable down the hierarchy from IDGRP3 to job IDJOB9.) |
In our example, %%\VAR1=AAA and %%..\IDJOB9\VAR1=CCC result in different variables. As indicated in the above table
