Steve,
First of all, I advise that you standardize on the way that you use your
quotes. I always use double quotes for the buffer that I am passing to
my ADDRESS environment (if possible) and I always include them rather
than relying on REXX to init a variable to its name. This leaves single
quotes for ISPF to use to enclose things such as ampersands.
In your case I would change the following lines :
Address ISREDIT "LOCATE 1"
Address ISREDIT "CHG '&HILVL..ZZ.ZZ.&P.&STK0..PARMLIB' '%%%%%'
ALL"
What happens with "trace(i)" specified in the REXX ?
Any chance of posting the text from the file that includes the string
that should be found?

Subject: REXX Problem
OK I admit I'm old and my brain sometimes goes out to lunch. Today
is one of those times. I have this error in a REXX macro that I use
in TSO that I just can't figure out how to correct.
The particular instructions are:
/* REXX
ADDRESS ISREDIT
"MACRO (XX)"
IF XX = "T" THEN
DO
ISREDIT LOCATE 1
ISREDIT CHG "&HILVL..ZZ.ZZ.&P.&STK0..PARMLIB" "%%%%%" ALL
IF RC > 0 THEN
SAY "STRING NOT FOUND"
EXIT
END
I am always getting the string not found message. The return code is
a 4. I added that as a trap because I couldn't figure out why
nothing was getting changed in the member I was editing and issuing this
macro.
I've looked through the REXX documentation on the IBM site but
nothing is jumping out at me. Any help/suggestions would be
appreciated.
