We use the Delphix tool for data masking. Delphix does not support duplicate variable names (including FILLERs).
In this example,
FILLER
W-SEG-ID
W-P-IND
W-NAME
are the duplicate variables. They need to be suffixed with two-digit numerals, as shown in the output code, to resolve the issue of duplicate variable names. I am currently handling this manually, as this task has just begun. I plan to write a REXX script to automate the process. However, I believe that correcting the FILLER names can be accomplished using SORT/ICETOOL.
As we know, FILLER is a frequently occurring case, while the duplication of other variable names is less probable which can be done manually. I believe FILLER name correction can effectively be done with SORT/ICETOOL by replacing ' FILLER ' with ' FILLER-<SeqNum> '
For the manual process I execute x all; f all ' FILLER ' command in ISPF EDITOR:

This makes it easy to edit small copybooks manually.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. |

| Get a better tool, FILLER variables have been part of COBOL since about forever, so a tool that cannot handle them AD 2024 isn't worth the money spend on it!!! |

I agree with you @Prino. There are many limitations with Delphix tool especially for copybooks though they are valid in COBOL. We have send requests to the vendor for fixes/enhancements. We need to survive with this tool till then. BTW, I am composing my next question reg OCCUR clause restriction in Delphix tool, that will be posted shortly. |
