Go to the 1997 directory.

Code:
cd /usr/tom/1997
for i in `find . \( ! -name . -prune \) -name "*.SQL"`
do
 fname=$(basename ${i})
 sed 's/^\(.*\)_[Ss][Tt]1_\(.*\)$/\1_ST2_\2/g' ${fname} >${fname}.tmp
 newfilename=$(echo $fname | sed 's/^\(.*\)_[Ss][Tt]1_\(.*\)$/\1_ST2_\2')
 mv ${fname}.tmp $newfilename
 rm -f $i
done
Hope this gives you some idea.
