Re: re: Hidden password

Booth,

If this is started from a command prompt you can specify DSPINPUT(*NO).  This 
will make the parameter invisible to the user and prevent it from being shown 
in the joblog.  I don't think it is failsafe.  I don't know for sure but 
dumping the job you could probably pick out the plaintext.

Is there a way to hide a data field from view?  Heres what I  want to do: 
I want to FTP an AS/400 data file to an off-site server.  That server
requires a unique log-in including a password.  I would like the process
to run during the night, and I would like the log-in name and the password
to be in the CL or available in a data file, or something similar.  But I
don't want it saved in the clear; that seems just asking for later
troubles.  Is it possible?
