Hello.

We sometimes use programmed check of passwords in certain functions.  The 
passwords are stored as normal alphanum fields in a file.  Our internal 
revision pinpoints that these fields should be encrypted.

Anyone with experience from encrypting/decrypting data in DB2-fields? As simple 
as possible...

Mvh.

Geir
