ZOS_JOB_USER - UAG configuration option

Description

The ZOS_JOB_USER option can be used to supply a list of user IDs to be used when a job is submitted. The value will be a list of triplets, contained within parentheses, specifying a job name mask, user ID and an optional keyword: NOOVERRIDE or OVERRIDE.

The job name can contain the wild card characters ‘*' (one or more characters) and '?’ (Any character). NOOVERRIDE (the default) indicates a match will not override an existing USER keyword on the job statement or Credential received from the UC. OVERRIDE specifies the user ID for the matching job name mask will override a user ID from any other source.

When a job is submitted, the list will be searched for a matching job name in the order in which it is coded. The first match will be used, even if a closer match appears later in the list. If no match is found, processing will continue as if zos_job_user was not specified.  If zos_job_user is coded multiple times, the values coded will be added to the end of the list of previously specified values.
