Syntax

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

Details

Under CMS, every to argument must have a corresponding from argument; you cannot specify a null from argument. There is no practical limit to the number of to and from argument pairs.

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