sed help needed

Hi there,

I have a folder with many files where the first line has almost the same pattern in all the files and I want to replace this one with another which is going to be the same in all the files.

So the first line of all the files begins like
UNB+IATA:1+CHUAGT87HUUPSS/BUD01:PIMA

and I want to replace this one
UNB+IATA:1+REUAGT87GLSEHDQ/FRA16:PIMA

I tried the following but it doesn't see to do anything.

Code:
grep 'UNB+IATA:1+[A-Z,0-9]\{1,\}\/\{0,\}[A-Z,0-9]\{0,\}:PIMA' *.msg|sed 's/UNB+IATA:1+[A-Z,0-9]\{1,\}\/\{0,\}[A-Z,0-9]\{0,\}:PIMA/UNB+IATA:1+REUAGT87GLSEHDQ/FRA16:PIMA'
I tried various modification but always I was getting errors like

sed: -e expression #1, char 85: unknown option to `s' or
sed: -e expression #1, char 2: extra characters after command

can somebody please advise?
