Re:

I ran into something similar, and I think your problem is that you are
trying to replace three object names with one variable. I think if you
broke &KEYV up into three variables:
&KEYV1='EXZKPFR$'
@KEYV2='QDDSSRC'
@KEYV3='DEVSLIB'
and then used POSITION(*KEY 3 @ABC1 &KEYV1 &KEYV2 &KEYV3) it might work. .
