JCL is not a programming language and hence is very limited in what you can do with it. As long as you are using a PROC, you can specify PROC parameters for data set names (whole or partial), space parameters, and so forth. If you are not using a PROC, then you don't have much choice but to hard-code the values you want in the JCL.
