Replacing Values

[r3570]

Dear All,

I have a few values in a variable A of a dataset as follows:

     A

Superb xyz

XYZ super

good xyz

good XyZ girl

I would like to find the term xyz whether upcase or lowcase or propcase and replace with some term (example: pqr) in the whole dataset. How can i do that ??

In simple words i would like to replace xyz with pqr.

Any help ?
