Specify your EBCDIC constants like this:
ECon DC CE'Always EBCDIC'
ACon DC CA'Always ASCII'
CCon DC C'Subject to the TRANSLATE option"

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
