Variant Substitution - z/OS

This example demonstrates the use of variant substitution.

When Universal Connector is using pre-defined SAP jobs as template jobs (rather than Universal Connector job definition files), it may be necessary or desirable to replace the variants specified in the template job with variants more appropriate for the current job run. In this case, Universal Connector's target_variant option can be used to accomplish the variant substitution.

//USPVARSB  JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID                     
//*****************************************************************
//* Description
//* -----------
//* This sample demonstrates the use of USAP's target_variant 
//* option to perform variant substitution when using pre-defined 
//* SAP jobs as templates. 
//*
//* NOTE: This job assumes (and requires) that a job already 
//* exists on an the SAP system with:
//* Job Name: VARSBST1
//* Job ID:   12345678
//*
//* This sample will:
//* 1. Modify variants SBT1 and SBT2 with values required for this 
//*    job run.
//* 2. Submit a new job to the SAP system using a pre-existing SAP 
//*    job as a template. 
//* 3. Perform variant substitution on the newly created job.  The 
//*    newly created job will now use variants SBT1 and SBT2 for 
//*    steps 1 and 2 respectively (regardless of what variants 
//*    were defined in the template job).
//* 4. Wait for the job to complete.
//* 5. Return the job log.
//* 6. Return the spool list.
