TRANTAB ='translation-table'

Options

translation-table: specifies the translation table to use for the output file. The translation table is an encoding method that maps characters (letters, logograms, digits, punctuation, symbols, control characters, and so on) in the character set to numeric values. An example of a translation table is one that converts characters from EBCDIC to ASCII-ISO. The table-name can be any translation table that SAS provides, or any user-defined translation table. The value must be the name of a SAS catalog entry in either the SASUSER.PROFILE catalog or the SASHELP.HOST catalog.

Details

For SAS 9.2, using the ODSTRANTAB= option in the LIBNAME statement for the XML Engine is supported for backward compatibility. The preferred method for specifying an encoding is to use the LOCALE= system option.
