The difference between qsyseteuid and the other two is that when you use
qsyseteuid you are setting the effect user id of your thread to the
'special' user but you are retaining your current group profiles. You are
also not picking up any group profiles of the 'special' user the way you
would on a sign-on or SBMJOB. So it sounds like the 'special' user has
authority to the directories but their group has authority to the files in
those directories.
