The scheme Tom Marchant proposes is workable, but it is order-dependent in a way that I find disagreeable. I suggest the use of the REPLACE statement instead. Its syntax is
| REPLACE <oldsec>(<newsec>) See pp. 63ff of z/Os MVS Program management: User's guide and reference, SA22-7643-10, which includes some COBOL examples.
