Rick,

The problem is that CURR_DAY is not set in the shell which creates the new
job.
Duplicate the second line in that way:
SETVAR CURR_DAY "!HPMONTH"+"/"+"!HPDATE"+ "/"+"!HPYEAR"

Hope that helps, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany




JCL WWA:SETVAR CURR_DAY "!HPMONTH"+"/"+"!HPDATE"+"/"+"!HPYEAR"
JCL WWA:SHOWVAR CURR_DAY
CURR_DAY = 11/29/99
JCL WWA:ECHO !CURR_DAY
11/29/99


Can someone please point out to me my mistake? Many thanks in advance....
