You can have your symbolics resolution in your application at run time. You want the resolution in the JCL to reflect execution time? That may be weeks after the JCL is processed. I don't pretend to know what part of JCL processing is done during Conversion and what during Interpretation, but I am pretty sure neither process is psychic (even in an ESP environment). They can't know what the symbol values will be at execution.
