Try: sed 's/PROD.*$/TEST/g' < FILE > NEWFILE
The thing you have to remember is that with sed, the asterisk doesn't mean "one or more characters" - it means "one or more of whatever character comes before me". Therefore, your sed command is actually looking for PRO[zero or more D's][end of line], which would match PRO, PROD, or PRODDDD.
However, the decimal point is the wildcard character meaning "any character", so the combination of .* means zero or more characters.

addlofig
ADDLOFIG(3) MBK LOGICAL FUNCTIONS ADDLOFIG(3)
NAME
addlofig - create a new structural cell model
ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
Paris, France.
Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr
SYNOPSYS
#include "mlo.h"
lofig_list *addlofig(figname)
char *figname;
PARAMETER
figname Name of the figure to be created
DESCRIPTION
addlofig creates a new figure called figname and adds it to the list of figure in memory. The new figure is added in front of the list, and
becomes itself the list head. No check is performed to see if a figure with the figname exists on disk. If it is the case, the preexisting
file will be erased while saving.
The fields LOCON, LOINS, LOSIG, BKSIG, LOPAR LOTRS and USER are set to NULL.
The field MODE is set to 'A'.
The field NEXT points to the previous head of list.
RETURN VALUE
addlofig returns a pointer to the newly created figure.
ERRORS
"*** mbk error *** illegal addlofig figure figname already exists"
There is already a logical figure called figname in memory, so it's impossible to give this name to a cell to be created.
EXAMPLE
#include "mlo.h"
lofig_list *get_the_fig(name)
char *name;
{
lofig_list *pt, *fill_fig(/* lofig_list * */);
/* scan figure list */
for (pt = HEAD_LOFIG; pt; pt = pt->NEXT)
if (!strcmp(pt->NAME, figname))
break;
return pt ? pt : fill_fig(addlofig(figname));
}
