In an earlier query, I stated that apotection mask was 1080004. In fact it is 108004, but my interpretation was correct. I did err, however, in claim- ing that when an unprivilege user runs the program that calls a priveleged (SYSNAM) installed subroutine it raises (temporarily) the user's priv to SYSNAM. IN fact, this does not happen. The prot mask, as returned by SYS$SETPRV, was 108000, indicating that only NETMBX and TMPMBX were in effect. No error was detected on the call to SYS$SETPRV in the subroutine that tried to raise the priv to SYSNAM. I don't know why. -Ric -------
