I am trying to figure out how to turn echo on/off in a Cobol program
that is prompting for passwords.
This is not a Vplus app. I need to user the HP escape sequences so
that the entered values are *not* displaying on the screen.
I was using the escape sequence %33&k1L to turn local echo off
and then %33&k0L to turn it back on.
This escape sequence isn't doing what I was hoping it would do.
Instead of blanking out the entered values it is actually doubling
the character values entered (example: pass=magic is being displayed as
mmaaggiicc)
Plugging in the "SET ECHO=ON/OFF" command is not what I want to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,
Brian Donaldson.
