Hi Peter,
AFAIK, there is no IBM-Supplied System Symbol &MMDDYYYY. Due to this,
this would cause &TODAY to not resolve.
Please see: z/OS system symbols - IBM Documentation
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/output-manager/3.1.0?topic=SSKJLZ_3.1.0/bjturszs.htm>
Regards,
David

The above job gets this result: EZA1701I >>> STOR
CTLD.ZEJRFGRP.ANI_90D_3YR_AGT.RCKX..&TODAY.00000000.ARD. Substitution does not work.
Any suggestions on how to get this working.
