COMMAND REJECTED - THE VTOCS PARAMETER MAY NOT BE USED WITH THE CRITERIA=, DSNAMES=, TABLE= OR CATALOGS= PARAMETERS

Reason:

Because the constructs SELECT VTOCS and EXCLUDE VTOCS are so narrow already, it not necessary to further restrict selection based on other criteria. So, the CRITERIA=, DSNAMES=, TABLE= and CATALOGS= parameters are not allowed with SELECT VTOCS or EXCLUDE VTOCS.

Action:

Remove the CRITERIA=, DSNAMES=, TABLE= and CATALOGS= parameters from the SELECT VTOCS or EXCLUDE VTOCS commands, and rerun the task.

You may use the VOLUMES= parameter with the VTOCS parameter. For example, to back up the VTOCS on your TSO volumes, run:

//jobname JOB (acct,info),etc.
// EXEC   DMS
//SYSIN    DD  *
SCAN REALVOLS
 SELECT VTOCS,VOL=TSO/
