/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb EXCHANGE, COPY, Qualifiers, /PROTECT  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /PROTECT
       /NOPROTECT

    Determines whether protection is set for an RT-11 output file.
    The owner UIC of the output file is the UIC of the current
    process. This qualifier is not valid for Files-11 or DOS-11
    output files. Protection attributes for Files-11 output are taken
    from the current process default protection.

    EXCHANGE does not attempt to transfer protection attributes from
    the input file to the output file, because protection mechanisms
    of various operating systems do not readily translate to one
    another.

    The default is /NOPROTECT.
