Hi,

My macro code is: ISREDIT CHANGE ALL "&" "|"

I'm getting a INVALID SYMBOLIC VARIABLE error.

Can anybody please let me know how to perform this?

Thanks!

'&' characters are a PITA in edit macro change and find commands.

Use

when one has to deal with an ampersand - &
i always use the hex code x'??'.
then there is little problem.

If you don't know what the hex code for an & is, type one and then turn HEX ON.

and sprikitik, what is your last post about?
you have already been told, ampersands are problematic within ISREDIT Macro's.
