Add Completion timestamp to ZCPYS FC DISPLAY command

we would like to see a last successful flash taken time stamp to go with the "recoverable" status.

this is wanted to go with some automation so as to not have to goto the CSM to get the last good time/date to determine out "time lock" setting.

    Does providing the information in ZCPYS FC DISPLAY SESSION satisfy your requirement?

    Yes, that will work just fine. Thank you for reviewing!

    The timestamp for the last Flashcopy backup is not available in the REST response returned by the ZCPYS FC DISPLAY command. However, this information is available in the REST response returned by the ZCPYS FC DISPLAY SESSION command. It would be much easier to provide this completion timestamp in the ZCPYS FC DISPLAY SESSION output and therefore more likely to fit in the TPF lab's future plans. This implementation would also match how the ZCPYS SGC DISPLAY SESSION output provides timestamps for the backup information. Does providing the information in ZCPYS FC DISPLAY SESSION satisfy your requirement?
