Re: U1-8 Switches: Similar to *LDA ?

if you are setting the switches in a screen or clp, then submitting
the job (sbmjob, tfrjob, etc, the new job starts with the job switches
initialized to the value in the job description(usually all off)
see the clip below from the sbmjob cmd. many parms for the new job
may not be the current settings in the job doing the submit. All you need to
do to fix this is  RTVJOBA SWS(&SWS)     (&sws is 8 char)
and do submit like SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(XXX)) SWS(&SWS)

                               Submit Job (SBMJOB)

 Type choices, press Enter.
