Is it possible to modify the signon screen to just make the password field
our chosen maximum instead of the full 128 characters?



​Rob,

My first thought is that you can't do that...

"Field names and buffer lengths should not be changed."

My second thought is maybe you can...

Say you were to change the length of PASSWRD to 20, you'd have to add a
dummy hidden input field of length 108 between PASSWRD and PROGRAM.

That would keep the total input/output buffer length unchanged.

I don't have time to try it...

But if you do, I'd be interested in the results. :)
