I do see that we change our default class in the INTRDR statement
/* */
INTRDR AUTH=(JOB=YES, /* AUTHORITY TO SUBMIT COMMANDS */
DEVICE=YES,
SYSTEM=YES),
BATCH=YES, /* CAN PROCESS BATCH JOBS TOO */
CLASS=C, /* DEFAULT JOBCLASS IF SPECIFIED */
HOLD=NO, /* DO NOT HOLD JOBS AFTER CONVERSN */
PRTYINC=0, /* WHAT TO ADD TO PRIORITY */
PRTYLIM=15, /* MAX LIMIT THAT CAN BE SPECIFIED */
HONORLIM=NO, /* DOES INTRDR HAVE TO LIMIT JOB? */
TRACE=NO /* DO NOT TRACE AT STARTUP */

Lots of vague memories indicate CLASS=A to be the default class if no class is
specified - but I currently have no doc that indicates that (I'm still digging).

I think Peter is on the right track. I normally do not code any CLASS= on a
job. Execution class here gets set by some pretty involved code in Exit 6, but
the question is what 'jobclass' is used for options during conversion?
If I omit CLASS=, my job works, implying that 'class A' rules are in effect.
Changing nothing else, I added CLASS=C (unmodified) to the job card, and I get
the same 'invalid use of ampersand' error that I started with. Then I set
JOBCLASS(C) to allow SYSSYM, and the job worked.
So again, what determines conversion rules if no CLASS= is coded? I cannot find
any parameter in our JES2 init deck that would set class A as the default.

If anyone is still paying attention, my question lingers. Is CLASS A always
used for JCL conversion? Just because it's first in the list? Is it a defined
or default option? If it's always gonna be CLASS A, do I need to 'ALLOW' any
other class?
The conversion is not done by a class, its done by the conversion code. The
CLASS only tells limits and defaults. If you allow SYSSYM on class A but not on
class B, conversion will fail to resolve symbols if CLASS=B is coded on the job
statement, but will do it for CLASS=A.
In your case, the symbol resolution is probably done before something changes
the CLASS form A to C.
