what do you mean by 'simple'? The suggestions that you quote, generate the DSN and then immediately 'submit' the job to process the new DSN. - by the way, that is the purpose of using an internal reader - to submit the created JCL.
Many schedulers have dictionaries - substitution lists - that can be modified to provide JCL substitution parms.

Yes, and date functions are usually a part of them, giving you the option to use the exact date, at the date the job was actually submitted, or a cycle date - the date for which the dataset is scheduled to run.
i.e. Although the job runs on a Friday the date will that of Thursday as that job is part of the Thursday batch cycle.
