Program name

A 1 to 8 character valid load module member name that identifies the scramble exit invoked during a copy operation for this output column. The exit must be in the form of a load module, in any load library available to FM/Db2 at the time of the copy process, either by a STEPLIB DD statement, or in LINKLIST, or LPALIST.

Optional constant

A constant value that is passed to the exit for each call type. To enter a hexadecimal value, press F4 or enter the EXPAND command with the cursor positioned in this field and use the command HEX ON from the expand window.

Format Option

This option is only displayed for numeric columns and allows you to request FM/Db2 to pass the value specified in Optional constant to the exit in one of the following forms:

1. None: Field value passed to the exit in the internal format.
2. Format: Field value passed to the exit as displayed numeric with leading zeros suppressed.
3. Leading Zeros: Field value passed to the exit as displayed numeric with leading zeros.
