 | My question is I have alot of multiple changes to make to a program
that have the same variables in different names The extract below is a
part of about 300 lines
MOVE 0 TO
ENERGY OF BILLHIST OF GRAND-TOTALS 05020177
fUEL OF BILLHIST OF GRAND-TOTALS 05020177
DEMANDAMT OF BILLHIST OF GRAND-TOTALS 05020177
etc.
My question is I wanna change like 300 lines of code using the vi
editor. Starting from line 2300 to 2600. I know how to do some
replacing in vi:
prompt>:%s/type/types
What is the format to replace starting at line 2300 to 2600
Grand totals with dist-totals, keep in mind this is cobol and I need to
keep 05020177 in colums 73-80.

prompt>:2300,2600s/Grand totals/dist-totals/g
the g at the end is needed if there are more than one occurences of
"Grand totals" in on line which should all be changed.

And although somewhat obvious, if you are substituting to something
longer, put spaces in your target.
SNIP
:2300;+300s/DIST-TOTALS /GRAND-TOTALS/g
SNIP
Suppose you forgot to properly pad your substitutions, and your
punch card tags are now misaligned. You can do something like
this:
SNIP
:%s/05020177$/ &/
:g/05020177$/s/^\(.\{72\}\) */\1/
SNIP

Note the extra space to keep your columns 73-80 aligned.

I don't know cobol but if :%s/type/types works correctly for the whole
file, :2300,2600s/type/types should work for lines 2300 to 2600.

And keeping 0502177 in columns 73-80 is just a matter of making sure
that is you substitute a shorter name that you pad out the new name with
spaces. If you are replacing a shorter name with a longer one, then if
possible include spaces in match such that you are finding and replacing
the same number of spaces.
