The above answer is wrong. "EDTMSK" keyword can only
protect certain positions of a field (but can't replace a
character entered by the user).
To do this...
Say the actual field is PASSWD which you want to mask.
Create one more field say XYZ of attributes 1A in non
display mode(DSPATR(ND)) with CHECK(ER)keyword. Ur cursor
will remian on this field. Keep the actual field PASSWD as
protected.
Now, what will happen here is, when u enter any character
in XYZ, due to CHECK(ER) keyword the control will go back
to the program and then u can populate field PASSWD with
an '*' inside it and EXFMT the display file again with
blank XYZ and PASSWD with a '*'. Do this inside a loop.
Then in the end you can validate the actual password
entered when the user presses ENTER key. The PASSWD field
here is just to display the number of '*' as the number of
characters entered by the user as a password.
Quite long.
If u haven't understood I can send u the actual code. I
have done it previously for a client.
