You could do: PATH='/u/&RACUID/file.name.ext'

And JCL will substitute your RACF id for &RACUID. This does not help me because 
I would need &RACUID in __lower case__ because that's how I do the UNIX home 
subdirectories. Before automount, when I had a "hard coded" /u subdirectory, I 
would have symlinks of upper case RACF id to the lower case directory name. But 
I can't do that, as best as I can tell, since I went to automount of /u.
