Re: regarding typing password

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sello Nirmala,

No, the best you can do is use a non-display field.  PCs can do this
because the program catches the 'key 
typed' event and echoes an asterisk to the screen.  The AS/400 terminals
operate differently and you cannot 
get character-by-character control.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
