Controlling Default Attributes
The display shows the default attributes for a disk file that are in effect when you start a 
SAFECOM session. No access control list is defined. 
You can change any of the default attributes at any time during the session, and the 
changes remain in effect until you exit SAFECOM. The default attributes return to their 
original state when you exit SAFECOM.
To change any of the default attributes, use the SET DISKFILE command. To set a 
default access control list:
=SET DISKFILE ACCESS 2,1 (R,W,E,P) ; 2,* (R,E)
This access control list gives you READ, WRITE, EXECUTE, and PURGE authority 
and gives all other users in group 2 READ and EXECUTE authority. Use the semicolon 
(;) to separate access control list entries.
Enter:
=SHOW DISKFILE
The display shows:
The default attributes include an access control list. Any files you add to the Safeguard 
dat
abase during this SAFECOM session will have this access control list unless you 
specify otherwise. You can specify additional access control list entries when you add 
files. See Working With Access Control Lists.
To reset the default attributes to the original Safeguard defaults:
=RESET DISKFILE
The default attributes also assume their original values when you start SAFECOM.
