Re: System symbols in batch JCL

Skip,
      The following jcl should do the trick - 

//ZZZSKIP  JOB (ZZZ,1234),'TEST',                                  
//         MSGCLASS=2,CLASS=M,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,                      
//         MSGLEVEL=(1,1),TIME=1440,                               
//         REGION=0M                                               
//*                                                                
//SYMBOLS  EXPORT SYMLIST=*                                        
//*                                                                
//D1       SET D=&LYYMMDD.                                         
//T1       SET T=&LHHMMSS.                                         
//*                                                                
//TIMETEST EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01                                       
//SYSTSPRT DD DISP=(,CATLG),SPACE=(TRK,1),RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,       
//            UNIT=SYSALLDA,                                       
//            DSN=ZZZ.SKIP.REPORT.D&D..T&T                         
//SYSTSIN  DD DUMMY                                                

Hope it helps..... Roger
