File Header Characteristics? (Expiration date)

» close window

The Question is:

 
I'm looking for a way to do the equivalent of $SET file
/EXPIRATION_DATE=..... from within a program (Cobol).
 
I have looked through all the system services and can't find anything which
is even close.
 
Is this something that is possible, and if so, can you point me in the right
direction?
 
TIA   ...   Ingemar

The Answer is :

 
  Please see the I/O User's Reference Manual for the callable
  interface, or (less efficient, but potentially easier to code)
  the LIB$SPAWN call with the necessary DCL command.
