You're quite right -- I was considering the first case, not the second.

Maybe I'm still confused, but it looks as if you're trying to add a second
member with the same name as the first (ABC). If you want member ABC in
TESTLF to be made up of members TESTLF and TESTCYMD, I think you'd have to
use something like:

ADDLFM FILE(PDOWD/TESTLF) MBR(ABC) DTAMBRS((PDOWS/SOURCE (TESTLF))
(PDOWS/SOURCE (TESTCYMD)))

I don't know how many members you can specify in the DTAMBRS parm --
happily, on my system I didn't have more than six, so I never ran into a
problem there. The biggest challenge was automating that in a CL program
(I wish I had known about RPGIV and the Eval statement back then!)
