I want to replace all '*' with a space in a field. That's a TR instruction,
right?
But when I search through our 40 years of assembler code, I see no uses of TR
for such a purpose.
What? That's what TR does, viz, replace one or more characters with others.
I thinking this is because of difficulty in building the TR table.
We'd need to have 256 bytes where every byte's value in in ascending sequence:
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A etc, right? Except for the byte at offset
x'5C',
which would have the value x'40'.
Is there a slick way or a macro to build the TR table?
Or do people just code a TRT loop instead, since it is easier to build a TRT
table?
