CONCEAL_DATA [message #606490]

Hello all.

I am attempting to conceal a number field in oracle forms using the '*' character.
However, I want to conceal each digit after one second passes.

For example, if I want to conceal the number '12345', when I input the number '1', after one second, the '*' character conceals the '1', and so forth for the '2345' numbers.

So far, I am aware that I can use the below code to conceal, but is my scenario possible using the below code?

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('item_name', CONCEAL_DATA, PROPERTY_TRUE);

Thank you

try with

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(<your_item>, ECHO, PROPERTY_TRUE);

put it in time loop(
after second set the property SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(<your_item>, ECHO, PROPERTY_FALSE);

may be helpful for you....

If it is successful then post the code once

You might want to consider throwing the problem back to your DBA. The Data Redaction feature does exactly what you are describing, declaratively rather than programmatically. I (your DBA) declare that certain columns will be masked in certain ways depending om your session's current attributes; the developers don't do anything. It works with the current release of 11g and 12c.
I recorded a demo of it (mixed in with some other stuff) here,

Thank you for reply.
Can you help me with the time loop?
would this set_item_property have to be set in the when validate-item trigger?

would i need to create a timer?
