Question:
Is it possible to make a parameter on a selection screen look like the password field on the initial SAP login i.e. when the user types a value into the field, the characters are displayed as '*'?
Thanks
Iwan
Answer:
Iwan,
From what I remember, you have to set the 'invisible' attribute on the I/O field. In this case, it doesn't hide the field, it just hides the text being typed in, like a password field.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
Such option is not avaialble with Parameters or Select-options used in selection screens.
Hi, Iwan..
We can not make I/O with Parameters declared in select-options, we can only make Parameter inivisble not the data that is keyed in.
