Translate TRANSP RunId

At PPPL, to translate a TRANSP RunId to a MDSplus Id, convert the letter of the try part to a number:
A -> 01, B -> 02, .. Z -> 26
You can use tr_mkbeastid.pl

for tcsh:
set mds_id = `tr_mkbeastid.pl 123456A01`
for bash:
mds_id=`tr_mkbeastid.pl 123456A01`
from IDL:
runid='123456A01'
spawn, 'tr_mkbeastid.pl '+runid, mds_id,sh
