Variables Substitution

AutoEdit variables can be defined using:

• MFBSIJCL parameter names/values (including @parms_­file)
• OS environment variables
• %%GLOBAL or %%LIBSYM control statements
• %%SET control statement

MFBSI maintains a single variables pool. All variables are managed the same way in this pool. The MFBSI variable pool does not contain OS environment variables, except for system scheduling dates. See the topic on resolving original scheduling system date variables for more information.

The variables are searched in this order:

• MFBSI variables pool
• OS environment variables
• AutoEdit system variables

Variable names are case insensitive. Variable values can have a maximum 80 character length.
