The translate function is part of REXX, not part of ISPF. You are having an ISPF issue.
I've never tried modifying ZSCREEN, but I suspect that translating the whole thing is messing up the format that ISPF expects. Is ISPF-L still a thing? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

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..
