Consider following function , i tried to do a simple

         exec "%s/&amp;/\&/g"

Probably something to do with using a double-quoted string
(try :echo "a\&b").

You do not need to "execute" a command, so just omit all the
"exec" and quotes. The tip with the polished product is:

Exactly working after remove all exec statements.

They're much more cool , and thanks !

Within double quotes, backslashes should be doubled. If you don't want 
the backslash to have any special meaning, use single quotes instead.

See

        :help literal-string
