You can specify recovery to a particular image copy file
(data set). If you know the image copy data set name, enter it in
the Copy dataset name field. If the data set
is not cataloged, enter the volume serial number, and if the recovery
file is on tape, enter the file sequence number. To select a data
set from a list of image copies, follow the steps in this topic.
