Changing data like “$p” in a field to correct subfield sign

Question

How to change character strings like $p (or $n or $x) to appropriate subfield signs $$p (or $$n or $$x)?

Answer

Change $p to $$p using a fix routine in xxx01/tab/import.

Example
440## REPLACE-STRING $p,$$p

Fix routine can be included in expand procedure or in fix procedure, e.g.
xxx01/tab/tab_expand
XX fix_doc_do_file_08 xx_fix
or
xxx01/tab/tab_fix
XX fix_doc_do_file_08 xx_fix

Additional Information

If there may be also appropriate entries with 2 dollar signs in the input file you should make sure that the dollar signs will not be changed by checking with
1 440## COND-LOAD-VAL-MATCH Y,$$p
1 440## REPLACE-STRING $p,$$p
