I very much appreciate that, John. This was my logical conclusion as well. I simply didn't express myself correctly.

There is a single, "hard coded", set of translate tables. The default table that comes with ISPF is for CP-037 (I think). If you need some other translation, then the sysprog must customize the table. But it is GLOBAL to all ISPF users that have the table. I guess it could be "per user" by having a whole set of load modules, each in a different library, and which one gets fetched would depend on which DSN was in the user's STEPLIB or ISPLLIB. But it could not be changed "on the fly" to the best that I can see. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
