I have used the Translate code with OCONVS() function when it is
stylistically in keeping with the use of vector functions around it and
only because there isn't a vector version of TRANS(), but personally I
wouldn't use it outside of that situation.
custProductIDs = splice(reuse(custId),'*',productIds)
prices = oconvs(custProductIDs,'TCUST.PRODUCT','X';;99)
