None,... I don't know if there's an advantage..

Also,...
c                   If        %Subst(Srcdta : 6 : 1) <> '*' And
c                             SrcDirective <> *Blanks

Should be..
c                   If        %Subst(Srcdta : 7 : 1) <> '*' And
c                             SrcDirective <> *Blanks

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. <bg>

Just curious - why not drop the SrcXlate() array and just do

c     Low:Up        Xlate     SrcDirective  SrcDirective

What benefit does the array give here - Is there a performance advantage in
manually processing the string rather than letting the system do it?
