1. Perform a selective restore of the entire member from the backup tape to a new master file.
   

   // JOB    jobname
   // DLBL   JOBSTR,'next.librarian.input.file',,SD
   // EXTENT SYS008,volser,1,0,reltrk,ntrks
   // ASSGN  SYS008,DISK,VOL=volser,SHR
   // DLBL   SYS006,'work.file.file-id6',0,SD
   // EXTENT SYS006,volser,1,0,reltrk,ntrks
   // ASSGN  SYS006,DISK,VOL=volser,SHR
   // DLBL   SYS007,'work.file.file-id6',0,SD
   // EXTENT SYS007,volser,1,0,reltrk,ntrks
   // ASSGN  SYS007,DISK,VOL=volser,SHR
   // TLBL   MASTER,'tape.input'

   // EXEC   librPROG,SIZE=AUTO
   -OPT UTILITY
   -OPT NOSEP
   -COPY member-1
   /*
   // DLBL   MASTER,'new.master.file',,DA
   // EXTENT SYS004,volser,1,0,reltrk,ntrks
   // ASSGN  SYS004,DISK,VOL=volser,SHR
   // DLBL   IJSYSIN,'next.librarian.input.file',,SD
   // EXTENT SYSIPT,volser
   // ASSIGN SYS008,IGN

2. Use the select command options to extract only the specific archive level needed for processing.

   -SEL modname,ARC=Lx   (or ARC=-x, or ARC=yymmddhhmmss)

   This command will select the level to be processed.
