situtation:<br>
<br>
logged in as richardw, regular user<br>
accessing a record in fileA. <br>
using system command to access record in fileB.<br>
execute a print form to a file<br>
that file ends up with permissions of: <br>
<font color="#990000">-rw-------</font> 1 filepro users 8796 Dec 1
12:14 richardw<br>
<br>
When I try to convert this to pdf, using pcl2pdf, it result in a
permissions error and the pdf is not created.<br>
<br>
I have tried to do a system command "chmod 666 /appl/fpmerge/richardw,
before doing the pcl2pdf conversion, but the file perms are unchanged.<br>
<br>
If I go directly to fileB and execute the same print form process as
user richardw, it will create the same file with different permissions
and the pcl2pdf will create the pdf file correctly.<br>

<br>
Is this a umask issue?<br>
Obviously, the problem is caused when I use the system command to
access fileB. Because the user @ID is now filepro. But, if I am
executing the print command to a file as filepro, shouldn't that run as
a regular user? Or, do I have to make some umask change to accomplish
this task?<br>
<br>
Any input very welcome,<br>
