RE: MONMSG CPF2130 was: CL program

Here is what I am doing in a program (duplicating a physical and an
associated logical into QTEMP):

/* Clear temporary decrypted file. Create (as a clone of AROCC)      */ 
/* if not found. Also create AROCCL6 logical.                        */ 
             CLRPFM     FILE(QTEMP/AROCC)                               
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF3142) EXEC(CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(AROCC) +      
                          FROMLIB(&COMMONLIB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +          
                          TOLIB(QTEMP))                                 
             CHKOBJ     OBJ(QTEMP/AROCCL6) OBJTYPE(*FILE)               
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF9801) EXEC(CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(AROCCL6) +    
                          FROMLIB(&COMMONLIB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +          
                          TOLIB(QTEMP))                                 

The program could possibly get called more than once in a job, so there is
no sense in deleting and recreating it every time it's called - the file
just needs to be empty.
You can't do a CLRPFM on a logical, obviously, so I'm just checking for
existence and duplicating it if not found.

Yes you can CRTDUPOBJ more than one file.  You can do it a couple of ways.

1 - Use generics and one command.
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(MYFILE*) FROMLIB(MYLIB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) MONMSG ...

2 - Or single string them.
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(MYFILE1) FROMLIB(MYLIB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) MONMSG ...
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(MYFILE2) FROMLIB(MYLIB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) MONMSG...

They both have their pro's and con's.  You may like the latter method if you
only care that a particular object did not dup - and not why it didn't dup.
But I suppose that same philosophy could be applied to the former. 
Clean up of the objects that did dup in case of failure in the latter case
may be easier to handle.  Then again, if you're going to QTEMP a simple
CLRLIB QTEMP is quite succinct.
