RE: Copy Member

["Wilt, Charles" <WiltC@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

I think you're confused a bit...

A logical file member doesn't contain anything, the data you see in a logical file is actually in the
physical that the logical is built over.

You can create a new logical member with ADDLFM, but honestly I don't see what that will do for you as
like I said above, you'd still be working with the same data.

I think perhaps you want to CRTDUPOBJ on the physical and logical.

HTH,

Charles Wilt
