I would suggest that the ID IMSSB is not the owner of the file /u/IMSSB. You may need a CHOWN to set that ownership.
You might also consider granting access via the group. I think the CHOWN will do that as well. I would think this is an OMVS / *nix issue, not SAS or RACF. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stocker, Herman Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 10:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Racf And SAS problem G'day, I have a SAS job that I run without any problems. However, when I had a co-worker run it he has been getting errors. First he got error when starting the job: ICH408I USER(IMSSB ) GROUP(@UNIXAPP) NAME(BARKEY, STEVE ) 609 /u/imssb CL(DIRSRCH ) FID(01E3E2D6D4F0F9001627000000000003) INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO CHDIR ACCESS INTENT(--X) ACCESS ALLOWED(OTHER ---) EFFECTIVE UID(0000007096) EFFECTIVE GID(0000007000) This caused the job to fail. This was corrected by deleting the imssb directory in lower case and defining it in upper case - IMSSB. How the job will run to the end of the SAS step and gets the error: ICH408I USER(IMSSB ) GROUP(@UNIXAPP) NAME(BARKEY, STEVE ) 330 /u/IMSSB CL(DIRSRCH ) FID(01E3E2D6D4F0F9001627000000000003) INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO CHDIR ACCESS INTENT(--X) ACCESS ALLOWED(OTHER ---) EFFECTIVE UID(0000007096) EFFECTIVE GID(0000007000) Note that the /u/IMSSB/ is in upper case this was required to allow SAS to start executing. At the time of the error SAS has created the report and the CC is 0 for the step. Our security people have not been able to come up with any reason for this error therefore, they can not correct it. Anyone have any suggestions as to why we are getting this RACF error? Thank you.
