Following a suggestion from John Penney, here is a vastly improved CI only
script modified for more than one instance of "whatever" in the input file:

setvar keyval,"whatever"
file x=input file
file y=$newpass ;rec=-80,,f,ascii ;nocctl ;msg
run fcopy.pub.sys ;info='from=*x ;to=*y ;subset="!keyval",1'
reset x
file y=$oldpass
while finfo("*y","eof") > 0
  input tgtval<*y
  setvar tgtval,rht(tgtval,-len(keyval)-1)
  showvar tgtval
  comment Process tgtval, here...
endwhile
reset y
