Good point, sorry to make the assumption , for the most part we DISALLOW systems symbols in batch from the SDSF JC display ....

They are documented in the MVS INIT and Tuning https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieae200/dynpsm.htm Make sure on the JES2 JOBCLASS definition in JES2 you verify how this is coded SYSSYM whether it is allowed or disallowed. Specifies whether system symbols are substituted in batch jobs that are submitted in this JOBCLASS. Symbols are substituted when the job is processed by the z/OS converter using the system symbols that are set on the system where the conversion occurs.
