LIST <ONE|TWO|BOTH>;

LOAD TABLE=table-name <NLS>;

REPLACE position value-1<...value-n>;

SAVE <TABLE=table-name> <ONE|TWO|BOTH>;

SWAP;

Task		Statement
Set all positions in the translation table to zero		CLEAR
Create an inverse of table 1		INVERSE
Display a translation table in hexadecimal representation		LIST
Load a translation table into memory for editing		LOAD
Replace the characters in a translation table with specified values		REPLACE

Note:

Translation tables were introduced in SAS 6 to support the requirements of national languages. SAS 8.2 introduced the LOCALE= system option as an improvement on direct use of translation tables. SAS 9.2 supports the TRANTAB procedure for backward compatibility. However, using the LOCALE= system option is preferred in later SAS releases.

PROC TRANTAB is an interactive procedure. Once you submit a PROC TRANTAB statement, you can continue to enter and execute statements without repeating the PROC TRANTAB statement. To terminate the procedure, submit a QUIT statement or submit another DATA or PROC statement. [cautionend]
