I keep getting a syntax error but I am unable to find it. Could someone please point out my error? DUMP DATASET(INCLUDE(**) - BY((REFDT,LE,*,-100)(MGMTCLAS EQ TMMDAY3)(STORGRP EQ TMMVOL))) - OPT(4) ALLX ALLD(*) SPHERE OUTDD(TAPE) ADR101I (R/I)-RI01 (01), TASKID 001 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO COMMAND 'DUMP ' ADR109I (R/I)-RI01 (01), 2011.270 13:15:30 INITIAL SCAN OF USER CONTROL STATEMEN ADR140E (001)-RI03 (02), INVALID 'BY' CRITERIA If I try just with BY((REFDT,LE,*,-100)(MGMTCLAS EQ TMMDSK3J))) - It works. Could it be that I cannot select with STIRGRP? I looked at the doc and STORGRP is supported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
