  • The internal ZENCRPT subsystem is automatically activated if Encrypt or Decrypt is requested and the SBS is not active.
  • Exception groups, which control the format of the decrypted data as an addition to the standard “by user”, have been enhanced.

      • The display file (DSPF) with or without the record format. i.e. Front desk will get “clear text” only on the screen for changing the CC.
      • A user written exit program is called at real time to possible change to either “clear text” or ”masked”.
