Hi

Looking at Doug Nadel VCURSOR and having a problem understanding the TRANSLATE 
he Is doing

trtable='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'   /* Setup valid dsname chars   */
trtable=trtable!!translate(trtable)!!'ÅÄÖ0123456789.''-ä()'
trtable=translate(xrange('00'x,'FF'x),,trtable,' ')
zscreeni=translate(zscreeni,,trtable,' ') /* Remove non-Dsn chars    */

It works most of the times (in Edit, View, Browse, SDSF...)

But when I'm using it on datasetnames with '00'x surrounding it, it works in 
Edit and View, NOT in Browse mode

Doesn't TRANSLATE work the same way regardless of mode?

Sample:

.K39828.ISP.EXEC..     HEX BEFORE AND AFTER
40DFFFFF4CED4CECC0044444CCE4CCCDDC4CDC4CCECD4
00239828B927B57530100000857025669501540163590
--------------------------------------------
  K39828.ISP.EXEC       NO HEX
44DFFFFF4CED4CECC4444444DD4CCE444444444444444
00239828B927B57530000000560857000000000000000

The result:
