To display the first 4 digits of the account number, use 9999*. 99*99 displays the first two and last 2 digits of the account number. This rule is useful when the account number is communicated to a customer, such as using customer advice.

Replace Unmatched Variable Descriptions false true, false Indicates whether the substitution variables in the detail description field of an error code are replaced when a value that matches the substitution variable is not found. The substitution variable is either replaced with blanks or is formatted according to its formatting indicator. For example, if a substitution variable is defined as $(SUBSTVARNAME:PadL09), it is replaced with 000000000 when a matching value is not found for the variable.
