Re: Add to Character Value

There are several ways to do it, but I think the array with the valid characters will be the easiest. Using the array you can have an index to increment, or define 2 arrays and use xlate 

Like this  next = %xlate('ABCD...'. 'BCDE..': actual);

INCREASE THE CHARTERS IN ORDER FROM 'A' TO 'Z' BY ADDING 1 TO THE

Can you create an array of all valid values ranked in the order you choose. Then do a lookup on a character, add 1 to the array, and choose 

that new element as your new value.
It isn't clear to me what you would want "Q + 1" to equal, or "q + 1". An array that you construct would resolve that ambiguity.
