Re: Qshell hidden input

Vern,

DSPINPUT(*NO) is what I meant by hidden field.

The best I have come up with is to have CL invoke the shell script, as you
also suggested. This is not what I wanted but it might have to do.

I hadn't thought of using PASE. I may be able to do something with one of
the other shells if I can call it from inside qshell possibly via QP2SHELL.

Thanks,
-Marty

There is an attribute (DSPINPUT) on a parm that suppresses display of the 
parameter. *NO suppresses it both in a prompt and in a joblog.

Is that what you mean about a hidden field?

But qsh is its own shell and, as you say, does not show interactive
commands.

You can execute 1 or more qsh commands from a CL --   qsh cmd('some 
command; some other command') - can you run the cl as a command processor, 
prompting for password and passing it to qsh this way?

Or go to the QShell books on shell scripts - but qsh is a pretty weak 
shell, does not have all hte bash or ksh, etc., have.

You might be better off with PASE, which has the full shell scripting 
possibilities. Need AIX or other UNIX docs for that.

HTH
