Syntax

TRANSLATE (source, to-1, from-1, < . . . to-n, from-n>)


Details

In the OS/390 environment, TRANSLATE requires a from argument for each to argument. Also, there is no practical limit to the number of to/from pairs you can specifiy.

TRANSLATE handles character replacement for single-byte character sets only. See KTRANLSATE to replace single-byte characters with double-byte characters, or vice versa.
