Now, we’ll look at some more lexical functions.

F$TRNLNM() is used to get the translation of a logical name, isolate the translation to a specific logical name table, index or mode, or to determine such characteristics about a logical name.

Notice that F$TRNLNM() does NOT support wildcarded logical name expressions.

F$TRNLNM() supercedes the older F$LOGICAL().
