The default value is - &SYS&: &DOW&, CW&CW& &YEAR& Any alternative description must include the SID (&SYS&) parameter. The extractor validates that the ATC CDS check was performed on the same system from which the extraction program was executed. The system ID must be included in the description.
     Check Variant	ZPANAYA_CDS  (See below for detailed instructions on how to create this Check Variant)

     When you create and configure the check run, in addition to selecting the CDS Check Variant that was created, be sure to select the following options, including “Consider Baseline” and Include Objects from Checkable Namespace with Package range Z* to Y*:
