Personally I would use the ISPF Picture string instead of a physical line
For example
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.' "
would become
"ISREDIT F ALL p'DISP=SHR=DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE$PDQR$' "
The equal signs equate to any char.
The $ equate to any special char (& . , etc...)
This might make it work better
