In cics, how to make password appear as dots

Post by j.jyostna » Tue Sep 15, 2009 8:33 pm

In cics, while desigining a map how to make password appear in dots format or cross form instead of giving dark attribute

interesting CICS BMS question.
usually, we give ATTRB=DRK to not to display the data in password field.

I too interested to see the answer for this question.

Hi,
Try this option this should serve your purpose..... consider your field is F2 by using the option PICOUT you can format your output...get back to me incase of any queries on the same.....
F2 DFHMDF POS=40,LENGTH=10,
PICOUT='**********'
:roll: :roll:

Hi Tony,
I had used DRK attribute before and changed it to the one you suggested. The code looks like this:

PASSID DFHMDF POS=(15,38),LENGTH=6,COLOR=RED,
ATTRB=UNPROT,PICOUT='******'

But all I am getting is a visible output instead of *.
Please suggest
