Resolution

Message 3617 indicates that USE_RESOWNER=NO has been specified in SYS1.PARMLIB member IGDSMSxx.

DISK sysparm SMSRESOW should be set to N as described in the DISK Tech doc:
"Specify a value of N to have Disk pass the execution user ID and group ID to DFSMS to allow construct authorization checking based on the allocator User ID. This value should be used when USE_RESOWNER=NO was specified in member IGDSMSxx of SYS1.PARMLIB."
