But I doubt even that will support your need for "day before" and a specific member name format. So, how about:
o INCLUDE from JCLLIB a member containing a SET statement with the desired member name. o Add a final step to your job to update that JCLLIB member to the current date in preparation for running the job the next day. Beware the restart concerns mentioned elsewhere in this thread -- this technique will yield undesired results if the job is run twice in the same day. Are there any ENQ concerns with a job's updating its own JCLLIB? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
