Making pasword invisible

[ndevriendt]

Hello,

I've written a command where a username and password must be entered for the use of a FTP command.

I want that when the user type his password in the command that his password will not been visible on the screen.

Is there somebody that can help me ?

Thanks for your answer and time.

Looking at the source code for the system default signon screen , mine is in qgpl/qddssrc(qdsignon), the password field is defined as follows:

A 01 07 17'Password . . . .
A 01 PASSWRD 10 I 07 53
A DSPATR(ND)

Note the 'I' for input, and the DSPATR(ND).

On a user-written command (as opposed to a program with a dsiplay file), use the DSPINPUT(*NO) keyword. The password won't even show up in the job log, and if someonr retrieves the command using F9, they have to re-type the password.
