password

[Former Member]

how do i show an * for each character key in on a parameter field on a selection screen, like password is done on the SAP logon screen?

How about an input field (Text control) of the type of Password. In Java some Text controls have an attribute passwd(boolean) that when checked displays the text only as '*'.

Check this code

Password Field on Selection-screen

The following code sets a PARAMETER to be a password input field, where for security

purposes only *'s are displayed on the screen during input

i.e. Password: *******

Parameters: p_password like sy-uname.

*******************************************************

*AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

loop at screen.

check screen-name eq 'P_PASSWORD'.

move: 1 to screen-invisible.

modify screen.

endloop.
