Check the RMS manuals, for the XABPRO block. I'm not familiar enough with
Fortran - but you must be able to open the file for writing with a XABPRO
attached to the FAB. (This may mean you need to use the USEROPEN feature
of Fortran). Then set the protection you want into the XABPRO and close the
file. I've done this from C - we don't use the existing libraries so we
have our own change protection routine - and that is the method it uses.
