Syntax |
TRANSLATE(source,to-1,from-1<,...to-n,from-n>) |
Interaction: | Values of to and from correspond on a character-by-character basis; TRANSLATE changes character one of from to character one of to, and so on. If to has fewer characters than from, TRANSLATE changes the extra from characters to blanks. If to has more characters than from, TRANSLATE ignores the extra to characters. |
Operating Environment Information: You
must have pairs
of to and from arguments
on some operating environments. On other operating environments, a segment
of the collating sequence replaces null from
arguments. See the SAS documentation for your operating environment for more
information.
Details |
The maximum number of pairs of to and from arguments that TRANSLATE accepts depends on the operating environment you use to run SAS. There is no functional difference between using several pairs of short arguments, or fewer pairs of longer arguments.
