Instead of CRTLF use CRTDUPOBJ. CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(FILEL1) FROMLIB(YOURLIB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(QTEMP) Since the physical already resides in QTEMP, the logical will be built over that file. You avoid the CRTLF altogether.

In some instances I need to run this program against a subset of records only. I'm thinking of doing the following at runtime in a CL program: 1) duplicate the physical file in QTEMP 2) populate with the records that I need to process 3) move QTEMP on top of the lib list 4) build another versionof the logical file in QTEMP (based on the physical in QTEMP) using the CRTLF command CRTLF FILE(QTEMP/LOGICAL1) SRCFILE(SRCLIB/QDDSSRC) 5) setup an OVRDBF for extra safety and invoke the rpg program I tested this and is working fine, but, I'm concerned with someone making changes to the source file of the logical. Can anyone suggest a method to create the logical without using the DDS? If someone wants to propose a different approach, I'm open to suggestions.
