ISREDIT and string / variable concatenation

[PoseFant]

I'm working on a small job that add some lines to some datasets, inside the macro I'm trying to concatenate the string to add with a variable, but I get an error saying I have to many parameters for ISREDIT.

The correct string should be: //SIEBFPT JOB, 'L001',
The string displayed with SAY is as the above.

My code:

"ISREDIT LINE_BEFORE &CSR1 = "!!"//SIEB7FPT JOB,"!!" '&MEMBER',"

I've also tried a similar variant:

"ISREDIT LINE_BEFORE &CRS1 = //SIEB7FPT JOB, '&MEMBER',"

Any ideas ?

Thank you in advance

I found the solution:

L1 = """//SIEB7FPT JOB, '&MEMBER',"""
...
"ISREDIT LINE_BEFORE &CSR1 = &L1"

Is this CLIST or REXX ?

In REXX, Doug Nadel always advises me to compose the string first:

text = "//SIEB7FPT JOB "member,"

then insert it where necessary:

address ISREDIT "LINE_BEFORE" csr1 "= (text)"
