Lizette,
In the native 3270 world, nothing is transmitted until <ENTER>, <ATTN>,
<PAn>, or <PFnn> key is pressed. To hide a password or similar values,
ISPF uses non-display fields. The best that can happen is after <ENTER> is
pressed, you can have your ISPF dialog change the field (or replace the
field) with a display of asterisk characters. (Not necessarily useful.)
In the world of 3270 emulation, all the terminal emulation clients (that
I'm aware of), mimic native 3270 methodology.
I would have to say, no.

How to display Stars for Password in ISPF
I am trying to create a panel that has something like a password field.
When you enter the password, it replaces the characters as they are typed
from source to "stars".
Is this possible? Or is INTENS(NON) my only option?
Lizette
