Re: Logical Files

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you need the ADDLFM command. First, CRTDUPOBJ the physical files
into the destination, then the logicals. Then remove all members from
the logicals. Then ADDLFM, where you can specify the physicals on which
to build the logicals.

The 2nd item from the following bit from the CL manual entry on
CRTDUPOBJ suggests why you've had problems:

=======================================================================
For files, the duplicate object shares the format of the original file.
When a logical file is copied into another library, two cases determine
the basing for the file. First, if both the logical file and its
based-on physical file are originally in the same library, a duplicate
of the physical file must be created in the new library before a
duplicate of the logical file is created. After these two duplicates are
created, the new logical file is based on the new physical file.

Second, if the logical file and its based-on physical file are
originally in different libraries, it is not necessary to duplicate the
physical file before duplicating the logical file. In this case, the
duplicated logical file is based on the same phys-ical file as was the
original logical file. Unlike the first case, even if the physical file
is copied into the new library before the logical file is copied, the
duplicated logical file is based on the original physical file, not on
the duplicated physical file.
