PHYSINDYNAM specifies the input volume that is to be dynamically allocated  
          to a physical copy or dump operation. A nonspecific volume        
          serial number cannot be specified by using an asterisk (*). Only  
          one volume may be specified for a FULL, TRACKS, or DATASET COPY.  
          The device described by the volser must be the same type as the   
          output device specified on the OUTDD or OUTDYNAM keyword.         

Suggest you look at the example in the manual.

Subject: DFDSS QUESTION - PHYSICAL BACKUP OF A VSAM DSN WITH ALTERNATE INDEX

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)) -
                OPT(4) ALLX ALLD(*) SPHERE

Thanks to all
