OK, I promise to stop replying from my Android phone. With the small text, I missed the word "fetch" and only saw "protected".
The only reason that I can think of would be if the UTOKEN, if readable, might be used to impersonate some other user. That is, perhaps this UTOKEN is for the RACF id of the person/console which issued the command, and not for the RACF id of the running address space. I tried to read the RACF books on what the UTOKEN is used for, but was totally out of my depth!
