ddir on files with passwords...

[Mike Schwartz]

SCO Unix 5.0.6 and filePro 5.0.0  (yes, that's correct.)

 

     My customer has a creation password "xyz" on their "orders" file.  I
created a qualifier file "Lmth" on the orders file.  I have some report and
spreadsheet processing tables that copy records to the Lmth file.  

 

      When I use the line:

 

ddir orders -m Lmth -k

 

     I get the message "Enter Creation Password:".

 

     I've been instructed not to give the creation password to the end
users.  I would prefer not to have the password embedded in the ddir line,
because some of the users know how to view batch scripts, but I will do that
if I don't have any recourse.

 

     Is there anything I can do to have ddir blow away a qualifier without
giving up the file creation password?

 

Thanks!
