JSMITH reads the row using an RPG read.
The value of SSN is shown to him as *****1234.
The program does: ssn='123456789' then an RPG update. Does it accept
that and store the encrypted value of '123456789' or what? Like, "so I
can't read it, can I set the value instead"?

Mr. Berendt guessed right. The circumstances in question are indeed strictly native Record Level Access. What happens if the record is updated by somebody who sees a redacted value, both with and without attempting to change the value?

Thanks, Rob, for saving me the trouble of clarifying the circumstances.
