Kashyap,

If you enclose a single apostrophe within apostrophes CL gets confused. If
you enclose 2 consecutive apostrophes within apostrophes CL treats them as
a single quoted apostrophe. Try the following.

CHGVAR     &hdg   ('''' *cat 'Heading' *cat '''')

or simply

CHGVAR     &hdg   ('''Heading''')
