Problem

Symptoms: The customer would like to assign a password to a variable and then insert that variable at the password prompt when a file is retrieved. Solutions: This cannot be done with a macro or by assigning the password to a DOS variable. A variable cannot be automatically inserted at a password prompt since the password prompt works seperately from the macro. When the password prompt is executed when retrieving a file, it turns off the macro state and does not return the macro state back until after the password has been entered.
