When variables are substituted

Table 1 shows how to specify the SETUP option in the panel shown in Figure 4.

Table 1. Specifying the SETUP option
SETUP	IBM Z Workload Scheduler substitutes the variable …
Y	Automatically at job setup, or at submission if there is no setup operation.
N	Automatically at job submission. The variable is stored with the job in the JCL repository (JS) data set, and is then substituted automatically before the job is routed to the required destination.
P	After substituting any `SETUP=Y` variables and prompting the operator. IBM Z Workload Scheduler first substitutes `SETUP=Y` variables. Then it scans the job for promptable variables and displays them. The operator enters values for each variable. If there is no setup phase, the job fails with error code `OJCV`.

The operator initiates setup by setting the operation to next logical status using the workstation READY LIST panel. Variables can also be substituted by a user-supplied exit rather than by IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
