I highly recommend editing/viewing a Rexx with Hilite On 1 (Automatic) or 14 (Rexx). In this mode, literals are one color (in my case white) and variables a different color (in my case green). I had a very similar problem yesterday making a pesky update to a Rexx. Coloring showed me the error of my ways.
