I have not used PRCPRV, but SET WATCH FILE works great on my username with
"only" SETPRV as authorized privs:

$ write sys$output f$getjpi("","AUTHPRIV")
SETPRV,TMPMBX,NETMBX
$ write sys$output f$getjpi("","CURPRIV")
TMPMBX,NETMBX
$ set watch file/class=major
%SYSTEM-F-NOPRIV, no privilege for attempted operation
$ set proc/priv=cmkrnl
$ write sys$output f$getjpi("","AUTHPRIV")
SETPRV,TMPMBX,NETMBX
$ write sys$output f$getjpi("","CURPRIV")
CMKRNL,TMPMBX,NETMBX
$ set watch file/class=major
$
