Dear Michael,

I believe the syntax you are looking for is:

%qedit @.source(code<>'VFORM'), CHANGE .....

what I always do with this is just do a listf to check that I am 
qualifying the
files I want Qedit to look at to confirm, so you should see the files 
you want
to edit with a:

%listf @.source(code<>'VFORM'),2

All the best,

Neil
