Thanks, Curiously, what is the Converter part of, base z/OS services?
An alternative solution might be to push the symbols and values of them to environment variables (would probably need a special program or exit for this), then access them in a program with the CEEENV callable LE service. However what I don't know, is the scope of environment variables, they may only be good for the duration of a single Job step, and not the whole job.
