RE: Job Date

You mentioned you are doing a SBMJOB.  The options for the DATE parm of
SBMJOB command is:

Job date . . . . . . . . . . . .   *JOBD         Date, *JOBD, *SYSVAL

Most job descriptions are set to *SYSVAL.  The submitted job will use the
system date.  There is no *CURRENT for job date special value.

I believe your CL or OCL will need to retrieve and substitute the current
job date in the DATE parm.
