I seems to me you want to replace the &-strings in the JCL, so the & shall not denote a variable dereference.
No being a fluent edit macro writer I suggest you try to set the scan mode off before the change: ADDRESS ISREDIT "(oldscan) = SCAN" ADDRESS ISREDIT "SCAN = OFF" ADDRESS ISREDIT "CHG '&&HILVL..ZZ.ZZ.&&P.&&STK0..PARMLIB' '%%%%%' ALL" ADDRESS ISREDIT "SCAN = &oldscan" Note the double ampersand which I understand are also required.
