  ****************************************************************
  The RESTORE SYSTEM UTILITY fails with message DSNU1637I
  because no FLASHCOPY is available. There was a space
  efficient flashcopy, but the RESTORE SYSTEM utility made
  a determination that it was not a valid copy because
  HSM sets a different flag for SEFCs to specify that the
  copy is good.
  

Problem conclusion

• RESTORE SYSTEM was changed to check the correct flag.
