I know this isn't really the right forum.  I was just changing a program to
use CA (ASCII character) constants instead of the hex constants used in the
past.  This really messes up the colorization within ISPF edit (which I use
a lot, maybe others don't).

Along those lines, I'd like to be able to set the TRANSLATE value from
within the program.  95% of my source is fine with EBCDIC constants and
maybe the occasional ASCII so CA constants work fine in those instances.
However, I have a few programs that have a large number of ASCII constants
with only a few EBCDIC values.  Specifying TRANSLATE(ASCII) on the RUNOPTS
for only those programs would be problematic in our production control
environment but if I could specify it on a *PROCESS card (or by some other
means) that would be beneficial.

Then again, maybe I missed something looking at the documentation.

Thanks in advance
