Automatically Create a Unique z/OS Command ID for your Universal Agent Process Using OPC Variables

OPC has a set of reserved variables available that get substituted at job submission.

The feature gets switched on by coding the following JCL statements:

• //*%OPC SCAN            <== set substitution on and off by
• //*%OPC NOSCAN      <== set substitution off

Any OPC variable found within the instream JCL can be substituted with the current value by OPC. (See the IBM OPC documentation for instructions on variable usage.)

* If the cmdid identifier contains spaces, it must be enclosed in either single ( ' ) or double ( " ) quotation marks.
