ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for file WORK.SASMACR.CATALOG

Anyone seen this error before?

"ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for file WORK.SASMACR.CATALOG"

Occasionally, our batch jobs stops with this error. I don't understand how a file in work should not be writeable? Thanks, Stig

After I disabled antivirus (Sophos) online scanning for the work folder and *.sas7bcat files the error seem to have gone away.

According to this http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/mcrolref/61885/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a001328775.htm , macro catalogs are usually read-only, except while macros are being compiled or updated. Perhaps this answers the "why this file in work folder is not writable" part of your question.
