Couldn't you put a user subroutine on the SET.FILE verb that deals with
this? We do that for all kinds of uv verbs to deal with access.

We can create "q-pointers" to any directory path on the system such that
writes to a q-pointed file will write to the specified directory.
Is there any way to restrict that mechanism to prevent "accidental"
access.
Our Production account is mirrored from the Production box onto the
backup (DEV) box as a (disaster recovery) account.
As such we need to be able to restore /activate it at short notice.
BUT
We do not want any inadvertent updates to that account via these
q-pointers.
Ideally I would like UniVerse to tell me that I cannot create a
q-pointer to a 'restricted' area. I don't think it will do that.
I do not want to change the unix permissions because that could
interfere with the DR copying processes and would probably need to be
undone if we need to switch over.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Cheers
