RE: Qp0lSetAttr()--Set Attributes

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unless CHMOD is different than the "normal" xNIX command
there are 10 different bits it can set on and off, 3 sets
of 3, one for owner, one for group and one for public.
Each of these sets you can set on and off Read, Write
and Execute.  There is one extra bit for the owner, but
I don't remember what it is for off the top of my head.

If the Read bit is set, and the Write bit is not, then the
file is read only.  Set on the Write bit, and it is read/write.

Unfortunatley, I dont seem to have MAN on my AS/400 (dunno
why not) but this is one way to do it:

CHMOD 666 myfile (Myfile is read/write/execute for all users)
CHMOD 660 myfile (Owner and their group has read/write/execute,
    everyone else is exlucded).

As was suggested, read help on the CHMOD command.

CHMOD only appears to change file permissions.  I have a file in the IFS
that is "readonly" and I want to remove that attribute.  CHMOD doesn't seem
to do that.
