John,

Every single program I've seen or written that uses passwords uses a non-display field. (This includes the 5250 sign-on screen that we all know and love.)

You're right that it can't be both non-display and reverse-image at the same time. So typically a screen where you key user/password would simply not have reverse-image input fields. Is that a big deal?

(In my shop, almost nothing uses reverse-image input fields, so it's not a problem for us.)

So I shall post my question.



I need a screen to prompt a user for up to 5 passwords (several different
people may have to enter their passwords before the program can continue)

(it's for printing checks with signatures)



I do not want the passwords to display and I need to validate the fields and
display message if one or more of the password are not valid.



it appears there is no way to define the field as a password field so they
do not display (or better yet display *********)

If I make the field non-display so the passwords do not display then the
reverse image does not work (actually works but the non-display does not
display the reverse image)



I would like to know how others have handled fields where the user must
enter a password.



Thanks



John
