Adding Hourglass statement to JCL using REXX exec AGGDD

Using REXX exec AGGDD
HourGlass DD statements can be generated automatically using the provided
REXX Exec AGGDD. From the EDIT Command line, type:
AGGDD
after placing an A (after) or B (before) line command designating the desired
location for the generated HourGlass DD statement. Optionally, the desired date
can be passed on the command line as a parameter in the format CCYY-MM-DD.
Without any parameters, an ISPF panel prompting for the desired date is
displayed.
To simply display the correct HourGlass DD statement without adding it to your
current EDIT session, enter from any ISPF Command Line:
TSO %AGGDDNAM
The user is prompted for the date in CCYY-MM-DD format and the time in
dHHMM format.
