Change all 'SET &&' statements to 'SET &'. (Required for V3)

_PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Change all 'SET &&' statements to 'SET &'. (Required for V3)

_PROBLEM SUMMARY:
USERS AFFECTED: Any user converting from version 1 to version 2

The original implementation of ECL, following CLIST language syntax,
allowed the target variable name for a SET statement to be prefixed by
an ampersand. This ampersand was discardable, ie. it was not required.
For ECL version 3 the syntax was tightened to make the use of the
ampersand more consistent, ie. that it should always be interpreted as
"The value of the variable or function whose name follows".

To illustrate this syntax difference...
        (and assuming no variable named ABC exists)
     stmt            clist: var. has value   ECL/V3: var. has value
     SET X=DEF              X    "DEF"               X    "DEF"
     SET &X=ABC             X    "ABC"               DEF  "ABC"
     SET &&X=JOE            ABC  "JOE"       error - null var. name

_PROBLEM CONCLUSION
Programs will be modified to conform with this tighter syntax.
