This sample program is working good in my NW2004s system. Copy and paste and test.



report  zrich_0003.

data : string(10) type c.
string = 'BAT_&_BALL'.

translate string using '_ '.

 Write:/ string.

That is really weird. Are you sure that the literal in this statement has the underscore(_) and the space right next to it?

translate string using <b>'_ '</b>. <--There needs to be a space right next to the _ in this literal

You scared me a little there, thought I was going crazy. Anyway, the way that the translate statement works in this context, is that you have two values in your literal, the first is what you are looking for and the second is what you want to translate it to. So for example, it can be anything.

data: string(10) type c,
 string = '1212121212'.

translate string using '20'.

So in this case the value will now be '1010101010'.
