I was amazed when shown today that by simply doing: CRTDUPOBJ on an LF to
the library I happen to copy my physical to, that it works.
How can this be? I would have bet that a restore was required, isn't this
the way it used to be?

Nope. Always been this way. Read the help text on the command.

Is there anything wrong/different with creating a logical this way rather
than creating it the old fashion way with CRTLF?

Possibly. It only works if the physical already exists in the target library AND the logical and physical originally existed in the same library otherwise the duplicate points back to the original physical--the source of many problems for the unwary.

And finally, has this been available since day 1 on the AS/400, S/38??

Yes on OS/400, probably on S/38.
