VARY ON/ VARY OFF COMMAND IN BATCH

[John Dawes]

G'Day,
 
I have several hundred volumes to put online/offline and I thought I could try 
it in batch mode.  I dug up an old JCL which I tried but the job failed because 
of  the following:
 
READY                                                                           
 CONSOLE SYSCMD(V (AA50),ONLINE)                                                
IKJ55303I THE CONSOLE COMMAND HAS TERMINATED.+                                  
IKJ55303I AN ERROR OCCURRED DURING CONSOLE INITIALIZATION.  THE MCSOPER RETURN 
CODE WAS X'00000004' AND THE REASON CODE WAS X'000000
00'.                                                                            
READY                                                                           
END                                                                             
    
Here is the job which I executed.  :
 
//*                                                 
//STEP01   EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=999           
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                             
//SYSTSPRT DD  SYSOUT=*                             
//SYSTSIN  DD  *                                    
 CONSOLE SYSCMD(V (AA50),ONLINE)                    

Could someone please correct my mistake?
 
Thanks in advance.
