Be careful.  If you meant a fully qualified dataset name, you need to code
this.

Variable = " 'data.set.name' "

(I added blanks around the DS name to distinguish apostrophes from
quotation marks.)

One other point which confuses beginners to REXX (myself included at one
time): Anything that is not recognised as part of the REXX language is
assumed to be an expression the evaluation of which is sent to the current
host command environment for execution.  If not the default of TSO, then
ISPEXEC, ISREDIT,  DSNREXX, among many others.
