Recover statements to LOGPOINT based in the base Image Copy type (Tablespace or partition level)

There was a request to recover all Tablespaces in a DB to an specific LRSN.
In the Admin tool, at Database level the DBAs generated the Recover TOLOGPOINT statements by typing UTIL in the command line, then in the panel ADB2US selected option VP and in panel ADB2USV they only specified the logpoint to recover and the Recover statements were generated with DSNUM ALL clause when the Image copies were taken at partition level.

When the generate job was run the client received the following error:

DSNU512I -LSI1 226 14:02:16.23 DSNUCASA - DATA SET LEVEL RECOVERY IS REQUIRED
FOR TABLESPACE DLWFP018.CLWF0001
DSNU500I 226 14:02:16.39 DSNUCBDR - RECOVERY COMPLETE, ELAPSED TIME=00:00:00
DSNU012I 226 14:02:16.40 DSNUGBAC - UTILITY EXECUTION TERMINATED, HIGHEST RETURN CODE=8

The error in the utility is correct because the Tablespaces were backed up at partition level, hence they must be recovered at partition level, however the Admin tool is generating the recover statements at Tablespace level, this is DSNUM ALL instead DSNUM 1,2..N.
