JES Filter Strings - combine variable &USERID with a constant

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The filter string for JES is already support the variable &USERID . Unfortunately I can not combine this variable with a constant.

Example: my user id is FRED. If I now want to filter all jobs with the job name FREDX this does not work. &USERIDX does not work as a filter string. I have to set FREDX hard as filter string.

Since I create in my company preconfigured workspaces for the users and often the naming conventions USERID + constants apply, I can not preconfigure these now in the workspace. Each user has to do this himself later.

This concerns the fields "Job owner" and "Job name prefix".

In JCL this problem is solved by a delimiter ".".
Example JCL with variable ENV:

//SET ENV=D
//PROCLIB JCLLIB ORDER=(ARP.ZE.PROCLIB)
//INCLUDE MEMBER=WWXXJ&ENV.X
