Selecting a column for specifying scrambling options

You select a column from the Column Selection/Edit panel. To select a column for specifying scrambling options, enter E in the Cmd field adjacent to the required column. You can enter E against as many columns as you like. For each column you select, File Manager displays a Column Attributes panel.

After you have updated the scrambling options for a column (or any of the other column attributes), when you return to the Column Selection/Edit panel you will see an "E" for that column in the E column (under the "SHEX" heading) indicating that the attributes for that column have changed.

The scrambling options you can specify are:

Scramble type
Value option
Value input column
Value output column
Minimum and maximum values for a numeric range
Value data set name

The scrambling options determine how the input data is scrambled (if at all) when it is copied, imported or exported.
