Hi again, and thanks for the direction on my previous DFSORT question.

Now, for something completely different...

I am using JECL Jobgroups to schedule a set of 9 jobs that will always run as a set, and am working fine with the scheduling process. My question is - Does anyone know of a way to set a symbol in the JobGroups definition that will carry through each of the individual jobs? All nine jobs use the same two symbols (and other jobs have other symbols, too), and it would be so easy to use something like this:
//JOB$$BJG JOBGROUP (125101000),'scheduled jobs',OWNER=...
//*
//   SET SYM1=MYVALUE1,SYM2=SOMETHING.ELSE
//*
//JOB$$B0A GJOB
//JOB$$B1A GJOB
//         AFTER NAME=JOB$$B0A,WHEN=(RC=0)
//*
//JOB$$B2S JOBSET
//         AFTER NAME=JOB$$B1A,WHEN=(RC=0)
//JOB$$B2A SJOB
//JOB$$B2B SJOB
//JOB$$B2S ENDSET
//*

Am I dreaming, or is there a way to do this, so I can set SYM1 and SYM2 here at the top and have it propagate through the jobs?

Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton
