Replace your DO-loop and the WRITE statement with the following:
DO &K=1 TO &LENGTH(&L)
IF &SUBSTR(&K,&L)=A THEN SET &X=&STR(&NRSTR(&X)) &NRSTR(&&OPTA)
ELSE IF &SUBSTR(&K,&L)=B THEN SET &X=&STR(&NRSTR(&X)) &NRSTR(&&OPTB)
ELSE IF &SUBSTR(&K,&L)=C THEN SET &X=&STR(&NRSTR(&X)) &NRSTR(&&OPTC)
END
WRITE &NRSTR(&X)
See the TSO/E CLISTS manual for more information on &NRSTR.
