Problem conclusion

• PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT
  This PTF delivers an enhancement to LCP that provides a new
  method of flagging volumes as candidates for deletion from the
  LCP configuration.
  
  A new Volumes action is available from the VPCPMP00 main panel,
  which can be issued against a FlashCopy or Safeguarded Copy
  Management Profile. This option leads to new panel VPCPFSC0,
  displaying a summarized view of which volumes in the Management
  Profile will take part in the next capture and which volumes are
  safe to delete from the LCP configuration. From this panel, the
  user can perform actions to Exclude or Include one or multiple
  volumes from subsequent LCP captures.
