To suppress password display in the profile registry
entry:
Select the Prompt For Database Information check box on the Connection tab in the Database Profile Setup dialog box.
This tells PowerBuilder to prompt for any missing information when you select this profile to connect to the database.
Leave the Password box blank. Instead, specify the password in the dialog box that displays to prompt you for additional information when you connect to the database.
When you specify the password in response to a prompt instead of in the Database Profile Setup dialog box, the password does not display in the registry entry for this profile.
For example, if you do not supply a password in the Database Profile Setup - Adaptive Server Enterprise dialog box when creating a database profile, the Client Library Login dialog box displays to prompt you for the missing information.
