What happens is that after user XXX edits a program, since the

setting or user setting that will prevent changing the owner and group
setting on a file after editing it? (UV 10.1.4, RHEL 3).

You have a couple of options. You can either make the uv group the primary group for the programming staff in /etc/passwd, or you can:

chmod g+s BP

The latter will force any files created under the BP directory to retain the same group ownership as the BP directory, regardless of user group settings.
