No; the ISREDIT subcommand never sees the ampersand. The equivalent
code in REXX would

I tend to agree.
I almost sent the same response.
But, what's if it's 'legacy' code?
So, why not give a solution rather than another problem?
The only reason I didn't respond was because I had nothing constructive to say.

Gil,
Try this:
ISREDIT LINE &ROW = (THELINE)
Hope that helps,

Use the &NRSTR function.
ISREDIT LINE &ROW = &NRSTR(&THELINE)
When a source line happens to contain an ampersand it can still be read by
ISREDIT (THELINE) = LINE &ROW
However, an attempt to rewrite it back [even unchanged!]
ISREDIT LINE &ROW = &THELINE
fails, and so does an attempt to examine its contents with the &SUBSTR
function.
