SQL Instr function like %substring in IIDR MC

We use IIDR CDC for replication. There are source database columns which contains personal customer information as PAN (personal account number) and sensitive and strictly prohibited to replicate it without encoding due to information protection and security policies. We use %USERFUNC("JAVA","CdcHasher", "hash_type", <column_name>, <password>) syntax within derived columns for that table columns which contain only this information. But there are many source table columns which include such personal data in itself. We cannot handle it and extract it from string with existing functions of IIDR. And I would like to know will Development Team plan to add a new function like standard SQL Instr function into IIDR CDC? Is it possible expand function list with new SQL Instr function in future releases.


Thank you in advance!


Best regards,

    Thank you for raising this IDEA. WE have reviewed this IDEA and feel this type of functionality is catered for in other products and is not core replication functionality. We will not consider it for implementation at this point in time . Thank you.
