No translation is performed.

IN or YES

Translates tape input from ASCII format to EBCDIC format.

OUT

Translates tape output from EBCDIC format to ASCII format before writing it to the output tape.

BOTH

Translates tape input from ASCII format to EBCDIC format, and translates tape output from EBCDIC format to ASCII format.
