CreditCardRecognized Event (IbmTerminal)

In This Topic

This event occurs when an unredacted Primary Account Number (PAN) is displayed on the screen or in productivity features, such as Screen History. It also occurs when an unredacted PAN is copied from the terminal (for example, when the PAN is copied to a text file or a Microsoft Office application).

This event is enabled by configuring settings on the Setup Information Privacy dialog box. For more information, see "Logging Credit Card Access" in the InfoConnect VBA Guide.
