BPAM OPEN verifies that you have UNIX search authority to each UNIX directory. The FIND and BLDL macros verify that you have UNIX read authority to each UNIX file. FIND and BLDL call UNIX OPEN. If the open fails because you do not have read authority to the UNIX file, FIND returns return code 8, reason code 20. A UNIX directory can contain files for which you do not have read authority. Ensure that the application program does not issue BLDL and FIND for those UNIX files.
