Hi,

I came across the following code in one of the JCL's I was refering :

//*%%SET %%ABC = %%SUBSTR %%TIME 1 4

In a later step, it is using the varible %%ABC :

//PX2 EXEC PGM=prog,
// PARM='WERT%%ABC'

So, how exactly the above code work?

Guess the value of %%ABC differs( I think it picks up HHMM (hours,minutes)).

Does the above syntax work for all JCL's ?

Basically, I need to allocate a dataset within the JCL having a differenrtDSN name for each run, & then pass this DSN name as a PARM to my Program. Any suggestions how can I achive it ?

Thanks in advance,
shashi
