Displays the current default process protection to be applied to all new files created during the terminal session or batch job.

Format

SHOW PROTECTION

Parameters

None.

Description

The SHOW PROTECTION command displays the current default file protection to be applied to all new files created during the terminal session or batch job. You can change the default protection at any time with the SET PROTECTION/DEFAULT command.

Use the DIRECTORY/PROTECTION command to see the current protection for one or more specific files.

Example

$ SHOW PROTECTION
  SYSTEM=RWED, OWNER=RWED, GROUP=RE, WORLD=NO ACCESS
$ SET PROTECTION=(GROUP:RWED,WORLD:RE)/DEFAULT
$ SHOW PROTECTION
  SYSTEM=RWED, OWNER=RWED, GROUP=RWED, WORLD=RE
 
      

The SHOW PROTECTION command in this example requests a display of the current protection defaults and the user identifiers; the SET PROTECTION/DEFAULT command changes the file access allowed to other users in the same group and to miscellaneous system users. The next SHOW PROTECTION command shows the modified protection defaults.
