This question has actually been asked by Esmie in two different threads with similar subject lines.
The suggested answer has also been posted by Ulrich Krueger. To wit: "Willie, It appears to me that there's one too many ")" at the very end of the //FILTER1 DD - list. And I do hope that the bunch of datasetnames shown in your email as beginning in column 1 is just a cut/paste error and not present in the real data. Regards, Ulrich Krueger" Greg Shirey Ben E.

On behalf of Esmie and the kindness of Elardus, here is Esmie's question. She cannot post it because she doesn't have access to ARCHIVE site Good Morning Gentle Readers, I am trying to perform a backup of 1,000 dsns using DFDSS. I have a syntax error but I cannot find it. I checked the doc and I even did a copy/paste of the command to no avail. Could someone spot my error? Seems that my sight is failing me. The DUMP statement starts in COL 3 the TOL(ENQF) is in COL 8 & the DATASET(FILTERDD(FILTER1)) is in COL 5. Thanks.
