6.10 Input or Output Transformation - Reformat Telephone Number from nnn-nnn-nnnn to (nnn) nnn-nnnn
This rule transforms the format of the telephone number. Implement the rule on the Input or Output Transformation policy. Typically, if you use this rule on an Output Transformation, you would use the rule Reformat Telephone Number from (nnn) nnn-nnnn to nnn-nnn-nnnn on the Input Transformation and vice versa to convert the format back and forth.
