Jack, The JPn symbol construct always treats the symbol as character format. So, you need to code the include on OUTFIL by adding the symbol at the end of the record. But that would NOT suit your requirement.
As Masimo and Billy mentioned you can pass it via JCL variables, however the only caveat is you need to have SYSSYM=ALLOW for the jobclass your job is running.
