The SYMBPARM member supplies symbolic substitution variable names and corresponding data values for date fields. This substitution capability is not available for normal TSO-based sessions and is meant to be used only in a batch, or “silent auditing” environment.
The only valid fields for which this substitution process is performed are the TO and FROM date fields for the functions:
Specify one or more statements as appropriate to define each symbolic variable name and its substitution value. The specific syntax is:
column 1 column 10
0+++|++++1++++|+++2+++|++++3+++|+++4...
symname symvalue
Specifies symbolic substitution name that the user will specify as a date value when they create the actual batch auditing script. The symname name must begin in column 1 and start with an ampersand (&). For example, &symname.
Range: 1 to 8 characters
Specifies the actual substitution value that CA Auditor will substitute when the batch script is actually run. The symvalue value must begin in column 10.
Use the following format to specify symvalue:
&TODAY{-n}
A reserved CA Auditor variable equivalent to the current date value at the time the batch script is executed
(Optional) An algebraic value to be subtracted from the current date. For example, &TODAY-1 can be used to select SMF records starting with yesterday.
