Use the z/OS Task Details Parameters field to specify parameters that can be used in any JCL statement and in in-stream data sets.
...
The following steps add a Universal Controller parameter with the name *@DATE1 and a value of 20110601:
Step 1 | Open the z/OS task. |
|---|
Step 2 | In the Parameters field, click the + icon. |
|---|
Step 3 | Add a parameter in the following format: - Name is the name of a variable preceded with
@. For example: *@DATE1. - Value is the value you want to set to the variable. For example:
20110601.
|
|---|
Step 4 | When the JCL is submitted for execution, the parameter *@DATE1 (shown in the following example) will be substituted with the value 20110601 in the JCL or
in any in-stream data. The example also shows the *@DATE1 parameter being used in an in-stream data and in a JCL IF statement:
| Panel |
|---|
//INPUT DD *
@DATE1
/* |
| Panel |
|---|
//AIF IF @DATE1 > 20110101 THEN |
If a Universal Controller parameter must be concatenated with a non-space character, end the parameter name with a period (.). The example below
uses the *@DATE1 parameter concatenated with a non-space character in an in-stream data set:
| Panel |
|---|
//INPUT DD *
DATE@DATE1.ACT9898
/* |
|
|---|
