To be sure, you should DSPDBR on the Physical File(s) and check to see
where the logicals reside.

That said, IF the old PF and all of its old LFs live in the same library,
CRTDUPOBJ will put the new physical and the new logicals in the new
library, and the new logicals will point to the new physical you just
created.

If, however, the old logicals are NOT in the same library as the old
physical, the new logicals will point to the same physical as the old
logicals.

A solution is to (temporarily) move the logicals into the same library as
the physical, do your CRTDUPOBJs, then move the logicals back where they
belong.
