RE: CPYF CRTFILE(*YES) vs CRTDUPOBJ DATA(*YES)

["Fisher, Don" <Dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CRTDUPOBJ does more than just create a new file with the data in it.  The
triggers, referential contraints, journal associations, and all members are
also duplicated.  As I understand it, more authority is required on
CRTDUPOBJ because you are duplicating an object and all its attributes, not
just the data in it.

Hope that helps.

When using the CRTDUPOBJ command, the user is required to have more than
*USE authority:

However, there doesn't seem to be the same restriction when executing the
CPYF command specifying CRTFILE(*YES).
My question is ....
If these two commands are functionally the same (they both end up creating a
new file with data in it)...

...why is MORE authority required when using the CRTDUPOBJ command?
