PK67825: RESTORE SYSTEM DISPLAY HELP PANEL (ARYHREST) IS NOT CLEAR ABOUT WHAT KIND OF BACKUP CAN BE DONE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On the HELP screen for "R" option (Restore System Display -
  Help), the first paragraph says:
  
  "The Restore System Display shows a list of valid system restore
  points from which you can choose in the event you need to
  restore a subsystem. BCV, SNAP, FlashCopy, and DB2 backups are
  included in the list of restore points".
  
  This should be changed from "DB2 backups" to "DB2 System
  Backups" to avoid any possibility of confusion, as Image Copy
  backups are not in the list of restore points".
  
  This is in panel ARYHREST
