10-5

Mac Users:

If you use the TRANSFILE default (TRANSLATE), the member

names will have an

on the end of the name (for example, ATOE1M). The

Mac tables are also shipped in a translate file called MACTAB. The

members in this file do not have the

at the end of the name (for

example, ATOE1).

Library

The name of the library containing the TRANSFILE. *LIBL is a
valid library.

TRANSMBR

The member name for the compiled table. If the default of
*SRCMBR is specified, the name used will be the same as the

one specified for the SRCMBR parameter.
