This line of File Aid is comparing the one - or two - bytes starting at 150 against B, against D, against S, and so forth. In other words, it is a short way to use OR statements. File Aid is not comparing anything after byte 151 with this command. RA in File Aid is REPLACE ALL.
I would expect you need to use File Manager filtering to replicate the File Aid code (or use something other than File Manager such as DFSORT or REXX).
I would think the question is how the File Aid code was not converted before the product was not available any more.
