Hi John,
I don't think this can be done with COBOL syntax. But aside from
calling "SYSTEM" with a chmod command after the fact, you can (on POSIX
systems) modify the file creation mask. Take a look at the man page for
umask. This will influence the default file creation settings before the
fact.
Cheers,
Brian
