RE: Help with password field using DDS

John,

If you have a label for each password entry line, rather than trying to
manipulate the input field, you could use indicators to change the
attributes of the labels.

For example:

A 5 2'User 1 ID'
A USERID1 10A B 5 25DSPATR(ND)
A 6 2'User 1 Password'
A 90 COLOR(RED)
A PASSWD1 10A I 6 25DSPATR(ND)
A 90 DSPATR(PC)
A 7 2'User 2 ID'
A USERID2 10A B 7 25DSPATR(ND)
A 8 2'User 2 Password'
A 91 COLOR(RED)
A PASSWD2 10A I 8 25DSPATR(ND)
A 91 DSPATR(PC)

Etc...

Subject: Help with password field using DDS

If have looked and looked for an answer to this and I know someone else
must
already have gone down this road.

So I shall post my question.



I need a screen to prompt a user for up to 5 passwords (several
different
people may have to enter their passwords before the program can
continue)

(it's for printing checks with signatures)



I do not want the passwords to display and I need to validate the fields
and
display message if one or more of the password are not valid.



it appears there is no way to define the field as a password field so
they
do not display (or better yet display *********)

If I make the field non-display so the passwords do not display then the
reverse image does not work (actually works but the non-display does not
display the reverse image)



I would like to know how others have handled fields where the user must
enter a password.



Thanks



John
