APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The code in bbomhfsm.cpp will create the directory
and all of the nonexistent directories in <aDirnNameP>
as long as we have no access to RACF. It passes the
parent directory as aGroupIDNameP to createDir, and
gets the group id from there. During this process the line
number 237 corresponds to chown command failing.
Since it detects that a partial path exists, it checks to see
if the complete path exists. In this case, it is not. So it
tries to create the complete path for the directory which is
successful. But as it attempts to change the owner of the
directory, that is where it fails. There should have been an
error message indicating this particular problem to assist the
customer in debugging the problem.

****************************************************************
Trace entries for HFS management commands (e.g. creating a
directory, copying files) that fail do not include enough
information to help determine the cause of the failure.
The affected entries are those with file name bbomhfsm.cpp.
Problem conclusion
All error trace entries for common HFS manipulation methods in
bbomhfsm.cpp were updated to also include, where appropriate,
the error number (errno), a text description of the error
number, and errno2.  These will provide additional information
about why the action failed.

APAR PQ70415 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401500 of
