Hi:
I need to do a force-job with variable %%JOBNAME. Is possible???
For example:
Steps
-------------------------------------------------
ON Statement = *
Code= COMPSTAT!0
Do Force-job Table= Table1
JOBNAME= %%JOBNAME
ODATE= ODAT
Thank you very much.

The Documentation Control-M Parameter Guide described:
Do FORCEJOB
AutoEdit Support
No. An AutoEdit variable or expression cannot be specified as all or part of
the value for this parameter.

We've had some success with functions like this using the Shout facility since you can pass all manner of autoedit variables into a Shout program. So we've developed a script called "ShoutForceJob", and then instead of a "DO FORCEJOB" we've configured the job with a "DO SHOUT" to this ShoutForceJob destination. This allows us to pass in any System or Autoedit variable from the parent job to the forced job.
We have a similar ShoutEmail program which offers enhancements over DO EMAIL.
Its recommended to set your Shout scripts to run asynchronous to avoid slowing down the SL's post processing thread.
HTH. YMMV.
