The EXPORT has to be coded BEFORE the SET statements, as
documented
in the first paragraph describing the EXPORT statement.

"Symbols must be set to a value subsequent to the EXPORT statement
for the symbol value to be exported."

To answer Tom specifically:

And, in the JOB that worked, I had moved the EXPORT statement to
immediately follow the JOB card and to immediately precede the
step in question. Made no difference. When it worked, it worked.

Tom is correct.

I had not noticed that I did a copy and not a move when I had done the one test. Once I saw the two EXPORT statements, I realized my mistake.... So I re-ran my tests and proved what Tom said is valid.

Which also proved the manual....

I am so glad it is Friday and not that far from beer-30.

Have a good weekend all,
