PH45543: DYNAMIC SYSTEM SYMBOLS (I.E &SYSUID) ARE NOT RESOLVED CORRECTLY IN IDZ CLIENT FOR ZUNIT RECORDING JCL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) v15.0.3, while generating a
  zUnit recording JCL, dynamic system symbols such as &SYSUID are
  not resolved during the recording JCL creation.
  For example with the following in the JCL:
  //STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&SYSUID..TEST.LOAD
  
  there is no expansion for the &SYSUID in the recording JCL:
  //         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=.TEST.LOAD
  

Local fix

•  Add a SET statement in the original JCL to define the dynamic
  system
  symbol (ex: SET SYSUID=&SYSUID.).
  

Problem summary

• While generating a zUnit recording JCL,
  dynamic system symbols such as SYSUID are not resolved during
  the recording JCL creation.
  
  For example with the following in the JCL:
  
  //STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&SYSUID..TEST.LOAD
  
  there is no expansion for the &SYSUID in the recording JCL:
  //         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=.TEST.LOAD
  
  Workaround: Add a SET statement in the original JCL to define
  the system symbol (ex: SET SYSUID=&SYSUID.).
