In a maintain session, I want to mask one field so that some people can read the value some people cannot read it. How can I do this? Anyone can help me? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hi,
Try out inputfield.invisible().
This functions makes the field invisible.

Syntax
void inputfield.invisible( string field_name(18) [, string
field_name(18)]... )

Description
This hides the specified field(s) completely. In dynamic sessions, associated labels and dependent child fields are also hidden.
Note that when the predefined variable attr.echo is set to off, the field value is not displayed but the field itself remains visible.

Hai cucucucu
Why dont u use field level authorizations??
I hope it suits to ur requirement?

rgds,
juvenile

Extn to the earlier post
Look at Maintain Table Field Authorizations ttaad4133m000 .

Hi Juvenile, my boss don't want to use "Maintain Table Field authorization", so I must find out another way to realize it. Sigh!:(

Hi SriksAdi, thanks a lot! I will try it. :)

Hi SriksAdi,
I used it as below:
|************field section **********
field.tablefield:
before.field:
inputfield.invisible("tablefield")

|*******************************

This script can pass compile, but when I run the session, the bw message window poped up:
Function 'inutfield.visible'; Recursion not possible refcount=2

Could you please tell me what happened? Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I believe before.field is not the right place to use the function inputfield.invisible().

Since your requirement is to hide the values at the user level, you can make the field invisible in before.program.

Try using it in before.program.

Yeah!!!Succeed!Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many thanks for you! :) :)

Now How you are restricting some users ???
If logname = XXX then
visible
else
invisible
endif
like this or any other way can u let me know??

Hi,
Hardcoding of user names, for that matter any values, is most of the time not preferred.

A possible solution would be to create Customised User Groups. The groups could be Super User or Normal user (Not Baan User Type).

In the before.program of the session, check if the user logged in is a Super User (Super User in the customised user group) and accordingly make the field visible / invisible.

The user groups can be extended to multiple levels based on the requirements.

perhaps of this way:

before.program:
if logname$=user1 then
inputfield.password("myfield") |user that must not see
endif

Now How you are restricting some users ???
If logname = XXX then
visible
else
invisible
endif

I used the way mentioned by SriksAdi :p

perhaps of this way:

before.program:
if logname$=user1 then
inputfield.password("myfield") |user that must not see
endif

What's the function of "inputfield.password()"? Could you please give me more details? :confused:

Hi,
The field value of the input field are displayed as asterisks (*), as if you are enteing the password.

Oh, I see, thank you :)
