REXX does not do variable substitution with '&'. ISREDIT CHG "&HILVL..ZZ.ZZ.&P.&STK0..PARMLIB" "%%%%%" ALL is a CLIST construct, try (or something like): "CHG" "'"HILVL".""ZZ.ZZ."P||STKO"."PARMLIB'" ...etc

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.
