Restrictions
This option is not allowed on *PROCESS statements.
AS
Specifies that characters contained in character (C-type) data constants (DCs) and literals are converted into ASCII characters using the ASCII translation table provided with High Level Assembler.
xx
Specifies that characters contained in character (C-type) data constants (DCs) and literals are converted using a user-supplied translation table. The translation table must be named ASMALTxx.
Notes:
  1. Using the TRANSLATE option when you have also specified the DBCS option can cause erroneous translation of double-byte data in C-type constants. G-type constant data is not affected.
  2. The assembler searches for the user-supplied translation table load module in the standard load module search order. See also Appendix L. How to generate a translation table.
  3. The assembler does not convert UNICODE character strings.
