INVISIBLE attribute
The INVISIBLE
attribute prevents field data being readable on the
screen.
Syntax
INVISIBLE
Usage
The INVISIBLE
attribute can be used for EDIT
and
BUTTONEDIT
fields, to obfuscate the value of the field. A typical usage of
INVISIBLE
is for password entry fields.
Depending on the front-end type, the characters are converted to blanks, stars, underscores or dots.
Characters that the user enters in a field with the INVISIBLE
attribute are
obfuscated during data entry. When displaying data by program to a field (with DISPLAY TO / BY NAME
or when the interactive dialog synchronizes the form field content with
the program variable), the INVISIBLE
attribute will also make the field content
unreadable.
