How to use OPC variable as a JCL parameter

Hi,

I want to use the OPC variable (from OPC tables) in the JCL as a Variable. I tried the below one but the substitution is not working correctly.

I have the variable FECHUGF0 value as 1010 in table CSOLOTABLE.

But JCL substitution is trying to catalog the file as MDMX017.BS100.PURGEMA.FFECHUGF0

//*
//*%OPC SCAN
//*%OPC SEARCH NAME=(CSOLOTABLE)
//*%OPC SETVAR FECHUGF0=(YYMM)
// SET FDATE=FECHUGF0
//*
//STEP0020 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MDMX017.BS100.PURGEMA
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=MDMX017.BS100.PURGEMA.F&FDATE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=*.SYSUT1,SPACE=(CYL,(100,100),RLSE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//*

Can someone help?

Thanks
Prasanna
