Is your second DSN qualifier a valid one for a Mainframe DSN?
The rule says: Each qualifier must be 1-8 alphanumeric characters,the first alphabetic. |

Have you looked if SET statement will be useful to you?.
| Code: |
// SET DATE=D140324
//DD1 DD DSN=FILE1.&DATE..DAT,DISP=SHR

But I need a system date on daily basis as the file is created on a daily basis.
So I cant use a SET as I can't modify the jcl on daily basis. |

| You can have the SET statement inside an INCLUDE member, and update the include member to current date in the same JCL using either REXX or SORT. |

Could building a second job(Job B) with the required dataset name in the first job(Job A) and submit via INTRDR(submit Job B from Job A) be a possible solution?
Thanks,
Ashwin |

| What scheduler do you use? Most if not all of them will have the ability to generate the current date and substitute it in to the JCL at run time. |
