JCL Symbols are PROC variables, and may be set using:

1) EXEC statement keywords
2) Keywords on the PROC statement
3) The "SET" JCL statement.

They are defined in the JCL Reference manual, chapter 5: "Using System Symbols and JCL Symbols"

Example:

// SET PARM1=NEW
// EXEC PROC=FOO,PARM2=OLD

In this example, while executing the FOO proc, you have JCL symbols PARM1 and PARM2.

My question is this: does anyone know a way for a program to read the current JCL symbols? It could be that all of this information is washed away by the converter interpreter....
