Hmm, it should work using a delimeter other than '/' or escaping the
'/'. Escaping the '/' is a bit more of a pain than just changing
delimeters, as long as you know that whatever delimeter you pick won't
be in the strings you are substituting.
It seems to work for me:
$ dc="Q10MR11/FL12V"; rc=DELETED; echo "dc=${dc}"; echo "rc=${rc}"; \
echo "This is some Q10MR11/FL12V text." | sed "s%${dc}%${rc}%g"
dc=Q10MR11/FL12V
rc=DELETED
This is some DELETED text.
