Micros SIM - getting password from magnetic card

[jd11111]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the password from a standard magnetic card swipe.

withe the following script I get nothing on the infomessage after swiping a micros card.

var empPW : n15

input empPW, "Please sign in"
infomessage empPW

Swiping the card with notepad or wordpad open will give you the number associated with that card. Is that what you mean? Otherwise I imagine you would have to search through individual employees in poscfg.

no...I'm talking about sim programming, not just getting the password once.

thanks.

figured it out...

input empPW{M2,1,4,15}, "Please Enter ID"


but will this work for all micros security magnetic cards?

input empPW {m2,1,1,*}, "Please sign in"
infomessage empPW


Add the section in parentheses to tell the SIM to look to the magreader for the input.
