_EDC_UMASK_DFLT

In attempting to set the umask, I've specified the following:

//S1 EXEC PROC=EXJZOSVM,VERSION='14',LOGLVL='+T',
// LEPARM='ENVAR("_EDC_UMASK_DFLT=022")'

resulting in the following acknowledgement messages:

2:53 JZOSVM14(I): _EDC_UMASK_DFLT=022
2:53 JZOSVM14(I): _CEE_RUNOPTS=ENVAR("_EDC_UMASK_DFLT=022")

However, permissions on new files are 644 rather than the expected 755. I've also tried a value of 0022 rather than 022, with no different results.

Any ideas? Thanks.

How are you creating/opening the files?

This has been reported earlier as working: http://www.dovetail.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=746

In this topic, just setting the environment variable directly in STDENV worked, but setting via LE should be equivalent.

They're net new i.e. do not exist prior to the run.

I previously tried an EXPORT of _EDC_UMASK_DFLT in STDENV, but without success.

Ok, but how did you create the file in Java?

It turns out according to the developer that 644 is an indication of success as a result of a maximum permissions restriction. Therefore, this is no longer an issue. Thanks for your attention.
