This Natural profile and session parameter can be used to suppress the
display of filler characters for input fields that have been made
write-protected dynamically (that is, to which the attribute
AD=P has been
assigned via an attribute control variable).
Depending on the setting of the FCDP parameter,
dynamically protected input fields are displayed filled either with blanks or
with the defined filler characters.
Within a Natural session, the profile parameter
FCDP can be overridden by the session parameter
FCDP.
| Possible settings | ON |
Dynamically protected input fields are displayed filled with filler characters. This may suggest to the users that they could enter something in the fields. | |
