Default: NOTRANSLATE
Abbreviations: TR / NOTR
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:

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.
The assembler searches for the user-supplied translation table load module in the standard load module search order. See also How to generate a translation table. The assembler does not convert UNICODE character strings when the TRANSLATE option is specified (see CODEPAGE.)
The assembler does not convert UNICODE character strings.
