Specifying the scramble type

The Scramble Type option determines how data is scrambled when it is copied to the output data set.

Set the scramble type to one of these values:

Blank: Data is not scrambled.
1 ("Random"): Data scrambled to produce a random output value on each invocation.
2 ("Repeatable"): Data scrambled to produce the same output value on each invocation.
3 ("Translate"): Data scrambled using input and output values held in the value data set (specified in the Dsn field).
This option requires you to select the Value option with an input and output column (In and Out) and value data set name (Dsn). All records in the translate data set are loaded into memory for the copy operation. The input and output columns provide the location of the input and output field values as stored in the data set. Their lengths are determined by the respective input and output fields that have been mapped for the copy operation. If a matching input field value is found, then the corresponding output field value is obtained from the matching record. If no match is found, then the field is initialized to zero, or the value determined by the data create attributes.
4 ("Exit"): Data scrambled using a scrambling exit (as specified on a separate panel). For details about writing a scrambling exit, see the File Manager Customization Guide.
