RFE - BRMS D.R. script changes

Please change the BRMS report title "Recovering the Entire System" , so that step 14 D, reads as follows or at least distinguishes what the (*system) option means.

d) Type the following recovery command steps:

If you execute this command you will see everything for restore.
- STRRCYBRM OPTION(*SYSTEM) ACTION(*RESTORE) and press "Enter".
1. Enter *VOLSET for "Select action" parameter and enter the volume id
from the list of beginning volumes into the "Select volume" parameter.
2. Press F16, this will select all the recovery items with that volume set.
3. Press F14 to submit the recovery to batch.

If you use this command you should only see what has not been restored. .
Repeat the following steps for each volume set you wish to recover from:
- STRRCYBRM OPTION(*RESUME)
1. Enter *VOLSET for "Select action" parameter and enter the volume id
from the list of beginning volumes into the "Select volume" parameter.
2. Press F16, this will select all the recovery items with that volume set.
3. Press F14 to submit the recovery to batch.
..........

Currently it doesn't include the following 2 statements:

"If you execute this command you will see everything for restore."

"f you use this command you should only see what has not been restored. "


Use Case:

The report is used for Disaster recovery, and I think clarification of the two options in the step would help avoid confusion, as to why the *SAVCFG, *SAVSECDTA, QSYS2, QGPL, QUSRSYS library appeared in the list again in step 16

    We agree with this change but due language impacts this can't be changed till the next release after 7.3. This has been implemented in the next release after 7.3. So complete in that it is in the next release.

    This RFE's Headline was changed after submission to reflect the headline of an internal request we were already considering, but will now track here.
