A UTOKEN built by RACF would always have a group, but I'm not aware of any
requirement to provide one on a TOKENBLD request.  I suspect an error in
your code (perhaps, failure to properly initialize the L-form of the macro),
but can only suggest that you show us your code and that you examine the
UTOKEN you build before you pass it in on the MGCRE.
