Hi, I have a requirement to mask certain records.

For e.g;

Suppose the name is DAVID, I would like to mask it to FCXKF. You can see the character has been incremented by 2. Can this be done using COBOL ASCII character increment?

Thanks,
Hari

hari108,

What would y & z be replaced with? Assuming y and z translates to A & B you can use inspect to convert the string

Code:
                       
     INSPECT INP-STR CONVERTING 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
          TO 'CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZAB'
