Hi All,

We unload/load Adabas files using ADAULD/ADALOD utilities. During this process is ADABAS capable of masking a particular field for all records?

e.g.
1. Unload EMPLOYEE file from production
2. Mask employee_no field (e.g. 12345 to 1XXX5), all the records with some masking criteria
3. Update and load EMPLOYEE file with new file number to QA

Curious if ADABAS supports this or any clause available with any ADABAS utility.

Your views are welcome!

ADACMP's FORMAT cards could be used to insert a constant, but this wouldn't give you the flexibility that you need. To keep the process entirely within Adabas, look at the user exits. To code in Natural, consider stored procedures. Or decompress the file and write a Natural program to hash the data fields.
