Hi Tim,

       You could achieve all of this with a single command. The CHGPF command
does all of this for you. Specify the PF to be modified as follows:

CHGPF  FILE(library/filename) SRCFILE(library/source file name)
SRCMBR(member name) DLTDEPLF(*no or *yes)


You don't need to copy the data or any of the steps you've written above. I know
it's available on V3R7. Don't know if it's available on other versions.
