My REXX ISPF Edit macro contains the following lines of code, when I run it I don't see '&VAR' in the output line
| Code: |
Address "ISREDIT" "MACRO PROCESS"
L = ")SET VAR1 = &VAR"
L = STRIP(L,"B")
Address "ISREDIT" "LINE_AFTER 0 =" "'"L"'" |
is what I see, Why is it so?
How can I fix it? |

Probably REXX is trying to substitute a value for &VAR rather than leaving it as a literal string for inserting into the data. Finding none, it makes it blank.
I know CLIST has some built-in functions to prevent substitution within a variable string (&NSTR ???). Look for something similar in REXX. |

Its the use of quotes that tell rexx whether to substitute the variable or whether it is just text.
But I think in this case, it is not a rexx problem, but an ISPF problem. You are probably resulting in this:
| Code: |
| "LINE_AFTER 0 = ')SET VAR1 = &VAR' " |
being passed along to ISPF, but ISPF does its own variable substitution. |
