If you define the program in the program database and use "Module - Compile - Object" and "Program - Compile" the permissions come out -rwx--x--x. This is NOT affected by umask as some have suggested. I guess the intent is that single module programs that you can "Compile - Runable" are considered as being at a testing level, and should take some positive action to "release" them.... It would be nice if the i4gl source code came with 4GL, both to serve as an example, and since those who use it often feel the need to add features. -- Paul S.
