I'm trying to use system symbols in batch JCL under z/OS 2.1. Specifically, I'd like to create a DSN like this:TSOSKIP.REPORT.D-local-date.T-local-time I've perused KC but still cannot get to work.

Your problem is simply that you're referencing symbols that don't exist. What you want is:
//SKIPTEST JOB 1,JAFFE,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=T //TIMETEST EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //SYSTSIN DD * //SYSTSPRT DD DISP=(,CATLG),SPACE=(TRK,1),RECFM=FB,LRECL=80, // UNIT=SYSALLDA, // DSN=TSOSKIP.REPORT.D&LYYMMDD..T&LHHMMSS -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
