Hi,
Can anyone tell the attribute or the keyword used to display '*****' in the place of entering the Password.
If you try to login using your userid & password.
User Id : test01
Pwd : *****
Actual pwd : pwd01
In the Screen it should appear as *'s and this should be done when entering the data.
I dont want *'s to come after pressing ENTER or any KEY using the logic in program.
*'s should be displayed when typing on the screen itself.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandramouli.V |

As long as you use BMS to define your screens, the only option that I know of for password input is to use ATTRB=DRK,
but it will not display *'s it will leave the field "empty". |

You can't. BMS, unlike unix/windows, is buffered operation, the MF has no idea of what you are entering on the screen until you send the screen to the MF. |

If you are defining CICS panels, you can set your attribute section as:
| Code: |
)ATTR
+ TYPE(TEXT) INTENS(LOW) SKIP(ON)
¬ TYPE(INPUT) INTENS(NON) PAD(' ') JUST(LEFT) CAPS(ON)
|
The NON intensity does not display any characters (although it doesn't display asterisks either).
When you define the input field on the panel
| Code: |
- ENTER THE NEW PASSWORD FOR ALL LPARS...... ==> ¬NEWPASS1+
|
The ¬ goes prior to the symbolic and the + follows the field. This allow for a user to enter an 8 position password without it being displayed. |

i think cpuhawg is referring to IBM screen definition facility >>SDF
that many CICS shops have for screen paint definition of BMS.
and it runs in TSO/ISPF
course you can always go the ol' timer route , code the cics assembly dfhmdf macros or some other software tools that generates the macros
for you |
