I have several hundred volumes to put online/offline and I thought I could try

According to the manual, RC=4 on MCSOPER ACTIVATE means, "Environmental error.
For REQUEST=ACTIVATE, the console was already active."
You most-likely already had an EMCS console by the same name active in your
TSO/ISPF session. To test this, go back to READY, issue 'CONSOLE DEACTIVATE' and
then resubmit your job using the TSO SUBMIT command. See what happens.
