Support derived keys on field procs

System: Customer Service Maintenance

Actor: User needing a previously available feature.

Description: Hiper group PTF SI39169, released on 04/21/2010, added a constraint that restricted the creation of logical files with derived keys (functions such as CONCAT, SST, TRNTBL). The scope encompasses originating fields that utilize field procedures for data encryption. Trying to create logical files with TRNTBL-derived fields that are also defined as the key (or part of the key) results in a CPD32D7 RC13 error.


Use Case:

System: Customer service search screens

Actor: CSR

Scenario: Search for customer by upper-case encrypted fields.
1. Search for customers by upper-case
a. Email address
b. Last name
c. Business name

2. Maintain customer account information

    This RFE has been re-evaluated. Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.
