From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [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.
