In Unix System Services, if using OMVS you use the chmod command to change permissions; if using OEIS you use the menu to change permissions. Since Unix System Services interacts with the site security package (usually RACF, TOP SECRET, or ACF2), you cannot expect to "update the permission file" and have anything work.
And to answer the question, if you're just using your user id you should have the rights you need. What is the precise error message the batch job is giving you (we shouldn't have to ask for this -- you should have posted it when you first said the batch job is having a problem)? Are you using the fully qualified path in your batch job (/u/g138818/new FIFO)? Are you using quotes around the name in your JCL so the space in the file name isn't misinterpreted?
And terminology is critical in IT where similar terms may mean very different things. "GID" is group id and "UID" is user id in Unix System Services -- your home directory should be /u/userid which is NOT the group id; if you're using the group id for anything in your job then you are using the wrong field.
