Resolution

You CANNOT use FDM to perform masking against DB2 for z/OS, you can only use the mainframe toolkit to perform those actions.
If you want to remain in the Windows environment, then you need to install Brightside and use a PowerShell script to accomplish the masking job calling the mainframe executables
