Re: specifying library on DTAMBR parm of a CRTLF command

That's not the rule.  The rule is that the physical file on DTAMBRS keyword
must be also be one of the physical file(s) specified in the DDS.  That's
what CPF7356 is trying to tell you.

Apparently you did not specify a library name in the DDS, so the logical is
built over the physical found via the library list.  On the command you are
telling the system to put a member in the logical file based on a member in
a different physical file.

It doesn't matter if you specify library names in the DDS and/or the
command, or whether you use the library list.  What matters is that you
must end up with the same physical file in the same library from both the
source and the command.

So you must first decide what physical file (or files if it is a join
logical or multi-format logical) the logical is to be built over.

Then do a CRTLF making sure that the correct physical will be located,
either by specifying the library name in the DDS, or by not specifying it
in the DDS and making sure it is highest in the library list.

On the DTAMBRS keyword, do the same as what you did for the DDS ... either
specify the library name or use the library list.
