I receve the error ADR120E because of "TOO MANY POSITIONAL PARAMETERS AFTER '-1' Can you suggest a correction. What I am attempting to do is backup files from certain volumes. However, I want only to backup files that are less than 1 day old and must NOT be VSAM. Below is a copy of my control cards.
