Yes, you must copy it, but you can easily transfer the owned objects.

Use the WRKUSRPRF, then option 3 to the new profile. Then before you 4 the
old profile, use 12 to show the objects owned by the old profile and (I
forget, 9 or F9 or something) you can transfer them to the new owner. If you
prompt for the delete user profile command, I think there is a transfer
option there too.
