Hi.

Could the CL-cmd 'CHKPWD' be useful in this setting?

Mvh. / Best regards

Subject: [COBOL400-L] retreiving password for validation



I need to pause in a process and require the user to re-enter his
password before continuing.  Can anyone out there give me an example of
how to validate the re-entry of a password?  I do not need to see the
value; I just need to compare a value entered on the screen with the
user's password.  One additional twist, we may need a different user to
enter both his userid and password.  In that case I would need to
determine whether the combination entered was valid, again, I do not
need to see the password value, I just need to know if the value entered
is valid for the userid entered.  Any suggestions?
