another answer I got by an colleague ... Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

What about if you use CHORUS.MAESTRO.CCC which is used to document BULK jobs from
individual
groups/accounts to the MAESTRO database, even wildcards can be used, i.e.
[log in to unmask]
This program is even able to check for duplicate entries (they will NOT be entered
again).

No, Stephen, our MAESTRO version starts the ACTUAL JCL if it is time to start a
job (all conditions have met).
Changes done since the FINAL schedule has ran to activate today's production
schedule are reflected.

The real problem is that your job-file names are changing. In MAESTRO's ARRANGER
you have to define the JCL name once - and this file name should be kept.

Currently I do not have an idea how to deal with ... no other than re-writing your
program to force it to the MAESTRO known names ...

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.
