Here is another good trick if you have perl installed. (Another good
reason to use it)
perl -p -i -e "s/old_hist_name/new_hist_name/g;" file ( or * if you want
to do a whole directory )
This command does an 'in place' edit of the display file and does a text
substitution of the historian name. We have done this many times to fix
historian names. Perl will happily edit binary files.
