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.

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.
