Masking string syntax

Use the masking string syntax to define masking operations for data fields that are defined in a configuration file.

Each masking string uses the following format:

MASK="provider_syntax"

The following example shows a masking string that includes age privacy provider syntax:

mask="provider=age, mon=1, srcdf="%YYYY/%MM/%DD", 
flddef1=(name=BIRTH_DATE, dt=datetime_sz)"

The following example shows a masking string for a data field that is defined in a configuration file:

field=BIRTH_DATE,mask="provider=age, mon=1, srcdf="%YYYY/%MM/%DD", 
flddef1=(name=BIRTH_DATE, dt=datetime_sz)"
