Even though the user, group, account and program all have proper write access
capabilities, the database was probably opened with a particular password
that doesn't allow write access (e.g., "READER" (a fictionalized password) is
often restricted to read-only access of dataitems and datasets, whereas an
equally fictionalized "WRITER" would get you write access to the data). Such
passwords get you "class" access to a database and exist on top of whatever
other MPE security exists.
