Good Morning Gentle Readers,
 
I am having a problem trying to backup a VSAM dsn with ALTERNATE index.  For 
some reason when I use the SPHERE parm it does not work.  Can the SPHERE parm 
be used for a physical dataset backup?  Below are my control cards and error 
messages:
 
- DUMP PHYSINDDNAME(DASD1) OUTDDNAME(TAPE1)        -                            
       DATASET(INCLUDE(DEOP64.AM2.PAYROLL)) -
