TRANSLATE
In EBCDIC:
TRANSLATE('abcd','<.A.B.C>','abc') -> '<.A.B.C>d'
TRANSLATE('abcd','<><.A.B.C>','abc') -> '<.A.B.C>d'
TRANSLATE('abcd','<><.A.B.C>','ab<>c') -> '<.A.B.C>d'
TRANSLATE('a<>bcd','<><.A.B.C>','ab<>c') -> '<.A.B.C>d'
TRANSLATE('a<>xcd','<><.A.B.C>','ab<>c') -> '<.A>x<.C>d'
Applying the character extraction from a string, character comparison, and character concatenation rules.
VALUE
In EBCDIC:
Drop A3 ; <.A.B>=3 ; fred='<.A.B>'
VALUE('fred') -> '<.A.B>' /* looks up FRED */
VALUE(fred) -> '3' /* looks up <.A.B> */
