Re: .dspf file, password protected field.

I wouldn't suggest hard coding the password or user id into your RPG
program.  You should use a data area as Booth suggested or create a file
that holds user authority information for menu options, programs, fields,
etc.  You could use the file in future applications.

Frank,
Thanks for the input. In our shop lots of users have access to that menu
option and we want only one user to have the authority to enter the

'Ending

Mileage'. That is the reason why we want the field to be password

protected.

I think I will go with the suggestion of having a password field by the

side

of the 'Ending Mileage' field. When the user submits the data I just have

to

do a check on the password supplied in my RPG program, right? Seems easy
enough, any gotcha's? I appreciate your suggestion.

Mike.
