COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

Of course, with either EDIT or PS Text Edit (TEDIT), you could easily change all instances of
reserved words in a source program to another word; but if your data dictionary contains any
fields whose names have become reserved words, you might find the REPLACE statement a
handy tool. The REPLACE operation occurs conceptually after the COPY operation, but before
the remainder of the compilation.
