Re: Considerations for changing QPWDLVL from 0 or 1 to 2

I think overlaying is going to be a serious issue.

I dropped password down to 6 characters to allow me to use 4 characters
for my dummy. This allows me to practice overlaying without having the
start right at the start of the other field. With only 2 characters it
would have been tough.
Then I moved my dummy down and had it start 2 characters before the entry
field for program.
This seemed to clobber the field start attribute for PROGRAM and made it
unusable.

A 06 17'User . . . . . .
A USERID 10 B 06 53
A 01 07 17'Password . . . .
A 01 PASSWRD 6 I 07 53
A DSPATR(ND)
A DUMMY 4 I 08 51DSPATR(PR ND)
A 08 17'Program/procedure
A PROGRAM 10 B 08 53CHECK(LC)

I ended up with
User . . . . . . . . . . . . . . __________
Password . . . . . . . . . . . .
Program/procedure . . . . . . . .
Menu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . __________
Current library . . . . . . . . . __________

And I could not enter anything for Program. I think that was technically
because the field start attribute was overlaid.
