Is your device OWNED by JES3? You cannot vary offline, if not.
What is the system response from: 8I D,D=9F46
or, in your case: *I D,D=9F46
This is the correct format for VARY:
8V 9F46,OFF,MVS01

I don't know how to find that out. All I know is that the environment is a

You've gotten closer. This time the command was rejected by JES3. Is 9F46
a JES3 controlled device?
