It's hard to tell from the responses here, but it should be clarified
that umask cannot actually grant permissions. It can only remove
(mask) permissions granted by the process setting permissions. IOW,
umask is not equivalent to chmod, which actually does CHange a file's
MODe.

A decent explanation, along with how to calculate umasks, can be found

Hi Cedric,

The UMASK command simply sets the underlying operating system umask value so
it should affect all files created from the QM session including use of
CREATE.FILE though this has another way to do this by use of its MODES
option.

Does this apply to all the files created ? Including create.file ?

It sounds like Cedric needs to do a umask of 000 on the qm side to
give him the same as chmod 777.

We set ours up to put umask of 007 in each user bash profile. I was
not aware of the umask command on the qm side. Interestingly, I typed
umask at tcl and it returned 007.

Hi Cedric,
Is there a way to create file with a CHMOD of 0777 with a Write on QM on a linux dir. Of course, I can create my file and then execute a chmod but I'd like a way to do it with a single write.
QM has a UMASK command to set the modes for files created from within QM.

Hi Steve,
will len(@record) be equal to:
len(id) + len(record) ???
No. The id is not part of the record.

Cedric,

We have every user have a bash_profile. In that profile we put in
umask 007. What you are going to need is some variation of that umask
number. The 007 creates read and write privileges for the group and
owner but not the "other".

You might play with that to see what umask you will need to create the

Nope. @record is the length of the record, EXCLUDING the key.

Cedric,

I do just that. Include :-
execute 'SH umask 000' capturing umask

before the file create in your program.

Substitute 000 with whatever is appropriate for you.

Hi Eugene/Cedric,
Although this suggestion works for compatibility with Pick systems, I
personally prefer an I-type...
1: I
2: LEN(@RECORD)
as this doesn't rely on some special interpretation of a field number of
9999 and is, therefore, readable by programmers who have not come from a
Pick background.

Kevin,

I was pretty excited to see that they had fixed it. Thanks for
reporting the problem.

It was very frustrating that they had not fixed it sooner. It is a
pretty important feature to have for a "search company"

Cedric,

Make sure that there is a size item in either dict or the md(voc).

MD SIZE
10 line(s)
----: P
0001: A
0002: 9999
0003: SIZE
0004:
0005:
0006:
0007:
0008:
0009: R
0010: 13
Bottom at line 10

You can list the size just the same way that you do on D3.
