As I remember, the auto job scheduler MAESTRO has to be compiled with
the current schedule and then set into play.
At that point, a snapshot is taken of each JCL and then compiled into
one working object.
These production JCL's are kept where the users can not alter them.
The problem;  on a daily basis, files are downloaded across the country.
 These files use the current date as their name (CD980430).
A program constructs the JCL with the right names to use today.

How then do you get MAESTRO to use this JCL that was just constructed by
my program ?

The real problem is, the JCL's are constructed and streamed in but
MAESTRO puts a priority 8 on all 'production' jobs (productions jobs are
those compiled in and MAESTRO is aware of).
If there are 50 jobs waiting, my files arrive late.  MAESTRO must put a
pri "10" and move it to the top of the wait que but MAESTRO doesn't
recognize the job as a 'production' job since it was not compiled in.
