The shell is trying to create these to files in the directory /HPSPOOL/OUT,
which you probably don't have permission to do.

Instead of changing directory to /HPSPOOL/OUT, just:

grep '#j' /HPSPOOL/OUT/O7419 >rejorder
grep 'REJECT' /HPSPOOL/OUT/O7419 >rejemal1

and the files will be created in your current working directory.
