Automatically Create a Unique zOS Command ID Using OPC Variables
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.)
