Hi, Frank:
You can invoke the "chmod" program directly from an OS/400 command line, 
s follows:
     CALL    PGM(QSHELL/CHMOD) PARM('644' '/your/file/name')
You can call it from within a CL program, as follows:
     DCL        VAR(&AUTH) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)
    DCL        VAR(&PATH) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(255)
    DCL        VAR(&NULL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(X'00')
    ...
    CHGVAR     VAR(&AUTH) VALUE('644' *CAT &NULL)
    CHGVAR     VAR(&PATH)  VALUE(&PATH *TCAT &NULL)
    CALL       PGM(QSHELL/CHMOD) PARM(&AUTH &PATH)
    ...
Or, you could use the "native" OS/400 CHGAUT command.   Type CHGAUT and 
ress F4=Prompt.

hey gave me the the chmod 644 cmd but translating that to OS400 seems best.
