create API/IFS security

I'm running into a few stumbling blocks on this issue.  We have
directories where we have setup individual authorities and an AUTL.  We
are writing stream files for use with an external system and
application.  In looking at both fopen (C runtime) or create (API) it
seems that there is no mode that would create the file and have it use
the security as specified by the directory.

 

If I simply create a file and place it in the directory it will use the
directory setup.  We have a program that uses fopen and it uses whatever
authority is specified by the mode.  And in reviewing the create API I
don't see any reference to something similar to *INDIR.  Am I missing
something?  How are other people doing this?  Doing a create and
following it with a chgmod?  Assuming that even works......
