Hello All,

A "newbie" was asking me about a "feature" today, and I'd never seen it
before!  Perhaps it was the early training that said that there's no data in a
logical file, but I would swear that at one time at least, CPYF wouldn't even
work against a logical!  Now, this manager that knows enough to be dangerous
tried a CPYF for testing against a logical instead of CRTDUPOBJ and it
_WORKED_ (sort of)!  Under V4R1, if you CPYF from a logical file to the same
(non-existent) name in another library with the CRTFILE parm set to *YES, it
creates a KEYED PHYSICAL FILE WITH ALL THE DATA, FIELD DESCRIPTIONS, AND THE
KEY BASED UPON THE LOGICAL!!!  Has this always been there, or is it new?

Regards!
