Here is another, clunkier, option:
/* Begin */
clear
set obs 1000
g abc_56epi=0
g def_56epi=0
g ghi_56epi=0
ds *_56epi
local varlist=r(varlist)
foreach x of local varlist {
local y_`x' = regexr("`x'", "_56epi", "_45epi")
rename `x' `y_`x''
}
/* End */

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
