As per Denys, you need to ensure that the file equation for :file
backup, which is not shown, references a unique logical device.
For example, if,

is ambiguous (ie more than 1 ldev has that as its class name), a
console request will be generated requiring a reply irrespective of
the autoreply configuration.
