I would have to say that that's very likely. Something must be converting the variable &xyz into a valid value before the job is submitted. |

I think its a symbolic constant. The value of which is stored in JOBLIB/STEPLIB library.
The value of a symbolic constant can be altered using the SET statement.
Please correct me if I am wrong as I am also new to Mainframes & JCL's. |
