Question Hiding password from ps

I'm calling a program with a command line arguement containing a password. while the process is running anyone on the system can ps -ef and see the password. Is there a way to prevent this from happening.

example

PROGRAM USERNAME/PASSWD

I've also tried
PROGRAM `cat passfile`

with passfile containing USERNAME/PASSWD
but it still appears

Anyway around this?
The program I'm calling is CONCSUB if anyone is familiar with Oracle Apps. And unfortunately it doesn't seem to have an interactive mode but only accept command line arguements.
