How to make password field appear as *** field

Post by MJ » Tue Jul 26, 2011 2:08 pm

I have used DRK attribute successfully and am trying to make it as * field.

The code looks like:
PASSID DFHMDF POS=(15,3),INITIAL='......',LENGTH=6,COLOR=RED,
ATTRB=UNPROT,PICOUT='******'

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

There was some reason to start a new topic for this existing question - :?

Possibly some kind moderator will delete this.

It would be better appreciated if you showed a bit of consideration and properly posted. . . There is little better than pointing out improper behavior - otherwise people believe it is acceptable. Get over yourself.

Do you really believe the forum needs another whiny that behaves poorly. . .
Well why dont you help
Getting rid of nonsensical duplicate topics is helpful - if i was a moderator here (as i am several other places) i would have merely deleted the duplicate.

I need to agree with DikDude here -- "duplicates" are unnecessary clutter.

I believe, MJ has hit the "POST" button instead of "reply" button while responding to his topic. And unfortunately, I can't manage this part of the Forum so can't do much about this thread.

Anuj

Yeah Anuj and DikDude I agree DUPLICATES are a total waste.
Thank you Anuj but no I did not post my question by mistake.I did it because no one is replying to the old thread with similsr question.
Morever I am new here which however is not reason enough to be a pain for others.Apologies friends...

Anuj and DikDude if you do know the answer please share.

Look here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocente ... fht50v.htm and search for "asterisks".
