PATHMODE: Set z/OS UNIX file access attributes for SYSLMOD

PATHMODE is used to set z/OS UNIX files attributes for SYSLMOD.

PATHMODE=oct1,oct2,oct3,oct4

oct1,oct2,oct3,oct4

Where oct1 through oct4 are each are specified as an octal digit (0-7) separated by commas. Each of these digits specifies execution values that override the permission bits set by the PATHMODE parameter in the JCL for SYSLMOD.

The octal digit is interpreted as three bits (e.g. 5 is 101) and used as follows:

oct1

1..: Set user ID of process to user ID of file owner when the program is executed
.1.: Set group ID of process to group ID of file owner when the program is executed
..1: Keep loaded executable in storage

oct2

1..: Owner permission to read file
.1.: Owner permission to write file
..1: Owner permission to execute file

oct3

1..: Group permission to read file
.1.: Group permission to write file
..1: Group permission to execute file

oct4

1..: Other permission to read file
.1.: Other permission to write file
..1: Other permission to execute file
