I want to keep password entry INVISIBLE. AFAIK, there is is no way do do this in the command-line environment. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here.) If I continue to do it in the SQL*PLUS environment, is there a way to modify (or create a new) NT environment variable, so that it can be used in the IMP80 call?
