  ****************************************************************
  When using DB2 Administration Tool or DB2 Object Comparison
  Tool to use verification masking, using multiple parameters
  in the mask statement does not provide the values requested.
  

Problem conclusion

• The program has been modified to allow the user to provide
  multiple parameters through the REXX exit for verification
  masking with the same format as the overwrite masking
  REXX exit syntax.
  
  The syntax for the verification mask REXX exit format
  is as follows:
  
      VER,maskname:REXX(rexxname,p1, p2, ... pn)
  
  where p1 thru pn are catalog column names for the DB2
  catalog table that contains the value of the attribute
  described in the maskname.  This parameter passing is
  the same as is done with overwrite masking REXX exit.
