Shmuel ! I sent my original source, and it was REXX. Having a few spare
moments, I quickly converted the REXX to CLIST and all of the FIND's
worked as a clist. Oddly, they work with or withOUT SCAN OFF. Whether
the problem belongs to ISPF, REXX, or both is not my problem. These
commands should work as a REXX. I'll let IBM sort it out.

I doubt it. What he wrote was 'The problem is that ISPF/ISREDIT
evaluates/substitutes any ISPF variable, which in this case is
"&PDQR".', which does not refer to either CLIST or REXX variables.
>Try adding the statement: &PDQR="A"
To set the ISPF variable PDQR from REXX he needs to dreop the
ampersand:
PDQR="A"
>You will see in the trace that &PDQR was not substituted.
In what trace? The REXX trace is not relevant to substitutions
performed by ISPF.
