Define the translation tables Define the following translation tables in the Translation Tables (tcibd4504m000) session:
Step 4. Define the converted values In the Translation Tables (tcibd4504m000) session, from the appropriate menu, start the Values by Translation Table (tcibd4106m000) session to define the converted values of each translation table. The first table you must define is the YEAR translation table:
