Override the JOBACID Designation

When the USER= parameter is coded on the JOB statement or if the submitting user is eligible to be propagated, it overrides any ACID derived by the JOBACID specification. If the USER= parameter is coded, its value is used as the ACID assigned to the job, even if the JOBACID specifies another source for the ACID. For example, when USER=ADA103 is coded on the JOB statement and JOBACID(A,2) is specified, the job's ACID becomes ADA103, not the account number.

If the USER= parameter or propagated user is an undefined ACID, CA Top Secret tries to derive an ACID using JOBACID before attempting to use the BATCH facility DEFACID.
