There's an IEFUJV exit available on www.cbttape.org (sorry, I don't
remember the file number), that performs symbolic substitution in batch
jobs, including mathematical operations on date fields. An example is;
// SET LASTWEEK=&ZJDATE-7.
This Will Give You The Julian Date For One Week Ago From Today.
I use these symbolic substitutions in many of my batch jobs.

As far as know, this is not possible using only JCL.
You will have to use a separate job to either create the full job, or a small
section that will be included.
Any job scheduler will be able to do this easily.

Subject: JCL and date variables
Hi:
I have a question regarding JCL and date variables. I need to run a job daily,
whose output must be written to a partitionned dataset with a member name
referring to the day before job execution.
Example:
If the job runs today, january 7 of 2014, it must create the member F140106 (
and not F140107). That is because the job processes information from the day
before (and not from the day it is indeed running).
Is there a way to achieve this purely from JCL? we have z/OS 1.13.
Thanks in advance for your help,
JUAN MAUTALEN
