Hi,

TRANSLATE ... TO UPPER/LOWER CASE

TRANSLATE ... USING

The arguments of these instructions must be single fields of type C, N, D, T or STRING or purely character-type structures. There is a syntax or runtime error if arguments of a different type are passed. A subset of this function is provided with the addition IN BYTE MODE for processing byte strings – that is, operands of type X or XSTRING. A statement such as CONCATENATE a x b INTO c is thus no longer possible when a, b, and c are all character-type, but x is of type X.

TRANSLATE ... CODEPAGE ...

TRANSLATE ... NUMBER FORMAT ...

The above statements are not allowed in Unicode programs
