If you look in the PROCLIB that contains MYJOB, you will see that the
proc has a symbolic parameter named P and this is how it is initialized
for a started task or started job.  I don't think you can use this for a
batch job.

Subject: Overriding PARM from the START JOB command

Hello, I was looking for a way of dynamically changing EXEC PARM
contents 
when starting a new job.

A friend of mine, after scanning some SYSLOGS, found this interesting
piece:

START JOB,NAME=MYJOB,P='''PARM=XYZ'''

I did not find anything related in the MVS System Commands manual, which

lists only these possible job-level keywords:
ADDRSPC v BYTES v CARDS v COND v JESLOG v LINES v MSGCLASS v 
MSGLEVEL v NOTIFY v PAGES v PERFORM v PRTY v REGION v TIME

So, whats is this 'P' keyword? Is it undocumented?
