TRANTAB Procedure

Example 2: Creating a Translation Table

Features:

Procedures features::: LIST statement; REPLACE statement; SAVE statement

This example uses PROC TRANTAB to create a customized translation table. All examples were produced in the UNIX environment.

Set the system options and specify the translation table to edit.

options nodate pageno=1 linesize=80
pagesize=60;
proc trantab table=newtable;

Replace characters in the translation table starting at a specified position. The REPLACE statement places the values in the table starting at position 0. You can use hexadecimal strings of any length in the REPLACE statement. This example uses strings of length 16 to match the way that translation tables appear in the SAS log.

   replace 0

   ;

Save the table. The SAVE statement saves the table under the name that is specified in the PROC TRANTAB statement. By default, the table is saved in your SASUSER.PROFILE catalog.

   save;

Display both halves of the translation table in the SAS log. The LIST BOTH statement displays both the table that provides the translation and the table that provides the inverse translation.

   list both;

empty; that is, it
