I thought about the *SYS vs *SQL but wouldn't an update library1/file1 fail?
Wouldn't it have to be update library1.file1 (period instead of slash
separating)? When I hardcoded the library, I used library1/file1 and it
worked.

Wild guess: Naming has been changed from *SYS to *SQL by program B. See
exec sql SET OPTION. With *SQL, unqualified table names use the user ID as
the implied qualifier. At least this is testable by creating a library
named the same as your user ID, putting a copy of FILE1 in there, and seeing
if that works.
Some additional debugging information might be available in the special
registers:

CURRENT_SCHEMA
