                     Resulting DSN using current symbolic string           
     BSY$IDSN                                   
      Using the following sample data as input:                                   
                                                                                  
      &JOBNAME   = 'JOBNAME '  &STEPNAME  = 'STEPNAME'  &DB       = 'DATABASE'    
      &SSID      = 'SSID'      &VOLSER    = 'VOLSER'    &DDN      = 'DDN'         
      &IC1IC2    = 'IC1'       &IUD       = 'PDBISC'    &PART     = 'PART'        
      &PROFCRTR  = 'PDBISC'    &PROFNAME  = 'DBHDO00'                             
                                                                                  
      The date/time fields are set to the current time.                           
                                                                                  
      The generated dataset would be:                                             
                                                                                  
     * IMSIBA2.DATABASE.DDN.IC1(+1)                 *                             
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
   

2. Review the sample data set name and make changes if necessary.
