SIN Masking

You can mask a Social Insurance number (SIN) that is nine digits. The digits can be delimited by any set of characters. Mask string datatypes with social insurance masking.
If the number contains no delimiters, the masked number contains no delimiters. Otherwise the masked number has the following format: xxx-xxx-xxx.
You can define the first digit of the masked SIN.
Enable Start Digit and enter the digit. The PowerCenter Integration Service creates masked Social Insurance numbers that start with the number that you enter.
You can configure repeatable masking for Social Insurance numbers. To configure repeatable masking for SIN numbers, click Repeatable Output and enter a Seed Value.
