RE: Attriburtes for a password field to hide characters but show the underline

I don't know that I've ever seen an underline for a non-display field. I just played with SDA and couldn't get it to work.

I do not see an underline on the password field on the signon screen.

Yep: Look at the DDS code for the sign screen. QDSIGNON (I think from memory) or QDSIGNON2 if using long passwords.

Copy/Past.

I am trying to create a screen with a password. Because it is a
password, I don't want the typed characters to show. However, I do
want the underline to show so they can see where to type. The only
way that I can find to hide the typed characters is to add the field
attribute ND which also hides the underline. Is this combination possible?
