DECC$UMASK specifies the default value for the permission mask umask. By default, a parent C program sets the umask from the RMS default permissions for the process. A child process inherits the parent's value for umask. To enter the value as an octal value, add the leading zero; otherwise, it is translated as a decimal value. For example: $ DEFINE DECC$UMASK 026 Maximum: 0777
