Normally a non-display field doesn't show anything, not even an underline.
If you set DSPATR(ND UL) the ND supercedes the UL and you see...nothing.
The idea is that if you want to keep the password a secret, why tell
everybody looking at the screen how long it is?  It sounds as if you need to
emulate some PC program functionality.  Perhaps you can write the front-end
as a Visual RPG/Basic/C/Java application and have it communicate to the
AS/400 to get/put the data?
