In a recent note, McKown, John said:
Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 13:46:37 -0500Why is this specified as executable?
//SMPXTOUT DD PATH='/home1000/TSH009/consinv.bin',
// PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC),
// FILEDATA=BINARY,PATHMODE=(SIRWXU,SIRWXG,SIRWXO)

For that matter, why is it world-writeable?
Is this just a matter of expedience: the least protection
gives you the fewest JCL errors? Of course, I suppose that
if the parent directory isn't world-searchable, there's some
protection. I don't believe UNIX security is as weak as
reputed hereabouts; it's often just bad habits of UNIX
programmers. (umask has no effect in JCL, has it?)

Most likely I just blindly copied the PATHOPTS from somewhere (likely
IBM) without really looking at it too closely.
