  • 1.  Fast Data Masker fails when string data contains quotes

    Posted Nov 21, 2017 06:47 PM

    When processing a text file (pipe delimited) to mask names using the SEQLOV function against the first/lastname seed tables, once it gets to a record containing quotes  (e.g. "Dave") the process fails with this statement:

     

    startorg/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils

     

    This was uncovered when masking run failed on a file.  DIAGLEVEL was set to 2 to expose this statement/error. 

     

    Are quotes not supported in the source for a SEQLOV function when utilizing a seed table mask?

    If the character fields in you file contain quotes, then you need to set the parameter CHARQUOTED=Y in the Definition File so that masking can happen correctly.
