• Tokens are to be embedded within the job step command text. They are replaced at runtime with the value pointed to by the token.

    From Example A in the article I linked to:

    PRINT N'Current database name is $(A-DBN)' ;

    Put the above text into a T-SQL Job Step and run the job. Look at the job history. Then open the job and change text to:

    USE msdb;

    PRINT N'Current database name is $(A-DBN)' ;

    Now run the job again and check the job history.
