I think the most straightforward way is to give the values of K and L
to the main jnl script as arguments:

   -- The "controlling" script might look like this ---
   go mainscript.jnl  3  29 !<-- Change these values.

   -- mainscript.jnl might look like this  ---
   fill/K=($1)/L=($2)/ . . .

In the main script, "($1)" and "($2)" represent the arguments given by
the GO command in the controlling script.

In this way, you modify only the controlling script to change the
values of K and L.
