global replace using a variable driving me nuts

[gimla]

###SYMBOL: aaa X
UPDATE etf e SET e.etf_1 = 'some data (always changes)' where e.etf_symbol = --- ;
UPDATE etf e SET e.etf_2 = 'some data (always changes)' where e.etf_symbol = --- ;
UPDATE etf e SET e.etf_3 = 'some data (always changes)' where e.etf_symbol = --- ;
UPDATE etf e SET e.etf_4 = 'some data (always changes)' where e.etf_symbol = --- ;


the above tex can vary in order and content


I am trying to replace --- with aaa

If you ask me to use the capture aaa into a global variable , can you point me to somewhere where it is explained how step by step
as I could not find any tutorial on how to do this, I did read the help and I am a programmer (although feel a bit dumb asking this stupid question)
