Way to display asterisks as one types password field?

I’m programming an online access program where a user has to enter a password into an input field. Right now the program uses an attribute definition for the field to hide the input

#INPASSW (AD=N)

I was wondering if there’s a way to display asterisks as the user inputs their password rather than just hiding it.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this is not possible, the 3270 protocol does not allow for this kind of
processing as it is screen-based, does not transmit characters as they are entered, etc.

Ah, okay. Thanks so much for your quick response!
