  General Use:

This panel allows you to enter or update system automation symbols that can be set to various system-specific values. These can then be substituted into several values, such as MVS automatic restart management element names, MVS workload manager resource names, job names, user-specified commands and others.

To specify that AOCCLONE value x is to be substituted, enter &AOCCLONEx. at the appropriate point in the field. You must specify both the leading ampersand (&) and the trailing period (.).

You may, additionally, specify the tilde (~) to get the 0th (unnumbered) AOCCLONE value substituted. For more details see Using System Symbols and System Automation Symbols.

This panel has the following fields:

General Use: This shows the description of the general use of the system automation symbol. It is defined in the SYMBOL DESCRIPTION policy item of the enterprise definitions (entry type ENT), see SYMBOL DESCRIPTION Policy Item.
AOCCLONEx: This allows you to specify the value of the system automation symbol (&AOCCLONEx variable).
Valid characters are A–Z, a–z, 0–9, @ (X'7C'), # (X'7B'), $ (X'5B'), ? (X'6F'), _ (X'6D'), ! (X'5A'), and ¢ (X'4A'). The entered data is not automatically translated to upper case.
Description: This allows you to specify a specific description of the automation symbol for this system only.
