I think this has to do with ISREDIT following Clist rules for &'s - even
when edit macros are written in REXX (no 'SYSSCAN = 0'.)
If rewritten in Clist it should work OK ... but 3 &'s should be coded
instead of 1 - e.g.
SET SYSSCAN = 0
ISREDIT FIND ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&&&PDQR.('
<etc.>
SET SYSSCAN = 16

That's one of the very frustrating things about this problem.
Almost EVERY variation of these ISREDIT FIND's work just fine as the
'commands between the quotes' in TSO/ISPF.
So, why don't they work the same way in ISREDIT? Beats me, that's for
sure.

Thanks to everyone! I have kept plugging at this and tried all your
suggestions.
Here is what I see so far.
1) There is no reason syntactically that this should not work
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.(&SYSTEM)' "
2) For some strange reality THIS works
"ISREDIT F FIRST 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.' "
and this does not.. as soon as you add the "("
"ISREDIT F FIRST 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.(' "
3) Lizette's P' processing can be made to work (but really should not be
necessary)
"ISREDIT F ALL P'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS$UCMD$REMOTE$PDQR$(&SYSTEM' "
Works !!!
"ISREDIT F ALL P'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS$UCMD$REMOTE$PDQR$(&SYSTEM$' "
Works
"ISREDIT F ALL P'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS$UCMD$REMOTE$PDQR$(&SYSTEM)' "
Does NOT
Now, why "(" causes the ISREDIT FIND to go nuts, but not the
ISREDIT FIND P' ' is quite beyond me.
And why ")" causes ISREDIT FIND P' to go nuts, but NOT "(" is
also
Thanks to all, I now have something that works, sort of, but there is
really something wrong with ISPF here.
by the by, I am on zOS 1.11
I am z/OS V1.12. I am using the F P'xxxx' ALL inside a member with your
exact data.
If I use
F ALL p'DISP=SHR=DSN=$PDQ$ALC$UNVLIB$$UCMIN$'
It works
If I use
F ALL p'DISP=SHR=DSN=$PDQ$ALC$UNVLIB$$UCMIN)'
It works. So not sure where the problem is. I will test later with an
ISPF macro. So native F ALL P'xxxx' works. Just need to check out the
Macro side.
