hi,

While creating a text field in screen painter, in the properties where you specify field name, type etc there is a checkbox named as Invisible tick on that and the field will display only astricks.

If you want that to happen on the selection-screen then just follow this:

In the screen internal table, follow the combination of 'ACTIVE', 'INPUT', 'OUTPUT' and 'INVISIBLE' as '1101' or '1111'.

You should be able to get asteriks using above combinations.

Be careful in programming them. i.e, assign them values in the 'AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT' event.
