VMS Help EXCHANGE, RENAME, 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 default is /NOPROTECT.

    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. Protection mechanisms
    of various operating systems do not readily translate to one
    another.

    The owner UIC of the output file is the UIC of the current
    process.
