  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  REP 
 
    A  directive  used  in  {IBM}  {object  code}  {card 
  decks}  (and  later  {PTF  Tapes})  to  REPlace  fragments  of  already 
  assembled  or  compiled  object  code  prior  to  {link  edit}. 
  Recompiling  or  reassembling  the  {source  code}  to  produce  a 
  whole  new  object  module  was  only  possible  if  the  {source  code} 
  was  available,  which  it  rarely  was  (if  you  had  the  object  you 
  were  lucky!)  It  was  also  quicker  to  apply  incremental  changes 
  with  REP  cards  and  they  also  circumvented  the  {checksums}  and 
  {card  sequence  numbers}  present  in  the  object  code.
