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 9.1 supports the TRANTAB=
option for backward compatibility. However, using the LOCALE= system option
is preferred in later SAS releases. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
- 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.
Note: For SAS 9.1, using the TRANTAB = option in the ODS MARKUP is supported
for backward compatibility. For specifying encoding, the LOCALE= system option
is preferred. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
