Your problem is due to you not having a userid in your security database assigned with that UID. When the files were created you had a user assigned with that UID, but that user is no longer in the security database.

In ishell, for files or directories owned by one particular user, the owner field is blank. When displaying attributes of the file or directory, the uid is there, but not the userid associated with it. Also in omvs when doing "ls -la", the group field is correct (text) but the owner field is the uid (numerals). For other userids, the displays are correct. See the examples. Any assistance is appreciated.
