From APAR OA45005: Exported symbolic parameters must be set to a value in the job stream after the EXPORT statement. Exported symbol values are resolved to the last value set prior to or within the current job step. JCL Converter processing generates EXPORT EXPSET statements to manage how exported JCL symbol values are resolved. These statements appear in the job log. Reviewing the placement of EXPORT EXPSET statements in the job log may be helpful in understanding exported symbol resolution for a given job.
