Syntax

SETPROT(<expC>)


See Also

Description

The SETPROT() function changes the current file protection mask. The argument to SETPROT() is an <expC> in the same form that is returned by the GETPROT() function. This string is known as the file protection mask. It is the same on all systems, however on non-OpenVMS platforms, the 'System' mask and the 'Delete' item mask are ignored.


Example

old_mask = getprot()
setprot("S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RW,W")
use accounts
setprot(old_mask)
