Re: CRTDUPOBJ on LF - how does it do this?

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That will happen if the logical is copied before the physical.  But, if 
the physical exists in the TOLIB of the logical, it doesn't matter if 
the target (TOLIB) library is in the library list or not.  I just did 
one of those (PF then LF) not 30 minutes ago.
