RMS FILEPROT

RMS_FILEPROT is a system parameter that determines the default file protection for system processes such as those that create the error log, operator log, and job controller. It also determines default file protection for processes created by the job controller (all interactive and batch processes). Because a process always inherits its default file protection from its creator process, RMS_FILEPROT determines default file protection only for users who do not execute the DCL command SET PROTECTION/DEFAULT in their login command procedures or during interactive sessions. The protection is expressed as a mask. (See the discussion of the $CRMPSC system service in the VSI OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual for more information about specifying protection masks.) By default, the mask is 64000 (decimal) or FA00 (hexadecimal), which represents the following protection: (S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RE,W:)
