This is, indeed, a JMS3000 date parameter, specifying that the scheduler
substitute the date for the prior Saturday ($PRIORSAT) and using the format,
'ccyymmdd' (,53).

Alan & Lane,

Currently we are not using any type of scheduling software. If this help, we
are an Amisys site. I know that the orginial code was wrote by an outside
company, not HBOC/AMISYS,  that we where in a partnership with. The code was
then pass to my company. We install it onto our 3k/997 without any changes
and it works the first time. Unfortunately my management has told me that
contacting the person who created this job is not an option.
