Problem conclusion

• GEN:
  KEYWORDS:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  DRF now supports a recovery using either the last batch image
  copy, or the last PITCA. A new RCVTYPE parameter allows either
  LASTIC or LASTPITCA. The syntax is:
  .
  +-RCVTIME----------------
  |
  +-RCVTYPE+-----------+---
           | LASTIC    |
           | LASTPITCA |
           +-----------+
  .
  RCVTIME and RCVTYPE are mutually exclusive parameters used to
  specify a recovery to time.
  .
  Use LASTIC to do a recovery using the latest, useable batch
  type image copy. A batch type image copy is any DRF supported
  image copy where the database was stopped. It still may be
  recorded to DBRC as a CIC type, but is useable for LASTIC as
  long as the datbase was stopped at the time. No logs are used
  for this type of recovery.
  .
  Use LASTPITCA to do a recovery using only the latest PITCA
  recorded to DBRC.
  .
  LASTIC and LASTPITCA may recover entries in the DRF recovery
  list to different times.
  .
  CHECK is not supported with RCVTYPE.
  .

  and Reference Version 3 Release 1 manual (SC18-9407-04) for
