In a file I have a line:

      (&FOO,BAR)

>From a Rexx macro, I issue the command, logged:

     31 *-* 'CHANGE c''(&FOO,BAR)'' wombat ALL'
        >>>   "CHANGE c'(&FOO,BAR)' wombat ALL"
        +++ RC(4) +++

... and nothing is changed.  If I paste the failed command from
the message:

    CHANGE c'(&FOO,BAR)' wombat ALL

... to  the command line, it changes "(&FOO,BAR)" to "wombat", as
intended.  I'm familiar enough with Rexx to trust Rexx not to be
doing anything.  I suspect, from other experiments, that some component
is replacing "&FOO" with the null string.  But which?  And how do I
make it not do that?  I tried doubling the "&":

     31 *-* 'CHANGE c''(&&FOO,BAR)'' wombat ALL'

... but that makes no difference.

Help!

Thanks,
gil
