RE: Connect - Password

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Y'all, I'm lost. The original question applied to interactive SQL, right? 
What is the context for the F4 idea? A signon screen? If I use TELNET to a 
400 I don't see my password, whether from a DOS prompt or from a 400 
command line. And F4 is not valid on that screen.

In interactive SQL, F4 on the password (USING) field gets me a message that 
it is not valid there either.

Or is the F4 the prompt for CONNECT TO? In that case, at V5R2, the password 
is in the clear, as Raul first stated, in the prompt. I'd consider that a 
bug, myself, but it's probably "as designed".

Or is it the prompt for TELNET? At V5R2, RMTPWD is in the clear when I 
enter it on the prompt. Same at V5R1. It's possible to define a command 
parameter so that input is hidden - again, it should be here and is not, IMO.

Just curious and a little yellow.
