I guess this is what you ment:

gen_sctp:send(S,
    #sctp_sndrcvinfo{stream=Stream,
                     assoc_id=Assoc#sctp_assoc_change.assoc_id,
                     ppid=3}, Data)

The shortcut of using #sctp_assoc_change{} as assoc_id
in gen_sctp:send/4 is not appropriate for gen_sctp:send/3.
Argument 2 has to be a #sctp_sndrcvinfo{} and 
#sctp_sndrcvinfo.assoc_id has to be an integer.
Read inet_sctp.hrl.
