what are the symbolic parameters? why do we use symbolic
parameters ?
Answer Posted / abha
Example: If symbolic parameter is defined as CLASS=H
and later on in JCL we use SYSOUT=&&CLASS
At runtime SYSOUT=&&CLASS will be relaced by SYSOUT=H.
Hence here we have used CLASS as a symbolic paramter and
its usage is to increase maintainability because if later
we need to change the class it can be changed just at one
place instead of changing it at all the palces of it's
usage.
