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 9.3 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.
