Your question is not clear. You have a value in a variable. What exactly do you want to do with it.

Please give an example of what you want to see.

For EG: - FIRST_NAME is the variable which store the TSO USER ID of the User. I am using FIRST_NAME in my REXX program several places. Now i also want to pass the same user ID which is stored in FIRST_NAME in my JCL. In my JCL i want to replace it in one of the nodes of dataset.

I assume that you will submit the job from the REXX

Have you read about ISPF file tailoring, which is usually the easiest way of making variable substitutions when building JCL.

Or you can build the JCL "in flight" using the variable name.
