Resolution

At the same date/time MBCBATCH job gets the errors:

MBCE137-COMMAND DBLC OPEN=086  WAS UNSUCCESSFUL RC(76)                            
MBCE137-COMMAND DBLC OPEN=087  WAS UNSUCCESSFUL RC(76)                            

on MUF joblog these RACF messages were displayed:

 02.14.08 STC16575  ICH408I USER(<muf.userid> ) GROUP(STCGRP  ) NAME(DB MUF      )  422
    422               <area.dataset> CL(DATASET ) VOL(nnnnn)
    422               INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY
    422               FROM hlq.*.** (G)
    422               ACCESS INTENT(UPDATE )  ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE   )

So <muf.userid> is not authorized to open some datasets.
