ECHODOTS
Function
Set the echo dots flag in an INPUTSTR or PROMPTSTR statement.
Value
1 = 1b = 1o = 1h
Remarks
The INPUTSTR and PROMPTSTR statements have the ability to disable
echoing of user input and instead echo dots in place of the user's
input. This is useful in situations where the information being
entered is confidential and shouldn't be revealed to any other party.
A good example of this is the user's password.
Example
STRING pwd
PROMPTSTR 148,pwd,12,MASK_PWD(),ECHODOTS+UPCASE
GETUSER
IF (pwd <> U_PWD) HANGUP
