The default for the OBJAUT parameter on the MD command is *INDIR. The help
text for this parameter value says that the object authority is based on
the authority for the directory where this directory is to be created.  (A
directory is assigned the same public, private and primary group authority
and authorization list as the directory it is to be created in.)  Since the
analyst does not have object existence authority to the /userdata directory
they will have to specify OBJAUT(*OBJEXIST) or OBJAUT(*ALL) on the MD
command when they create the /elpfilef directory, otherwise they will not
have *OBJEXIST to the /elpfilef directory.
