Please see PTF 5722SS1-SI23530. I ran into this same problem at V5R3 and this 
PTF fixed it for me. Might be related PTFs at other VRMs of OS/400; you'll want 
to cross-reference it.

There are apparently at least two somewhat related issues, but your mention of 
CRTDUPOBJ makes me think that SI23530 is good for you. Besides, it supersedes 
the second PTF anyway.

Hope it helps. This one can be a real surprise when it hits.

Hi Tom

The more I've looked at this the stranger it gets. I ran the alter
table SQL that Mark mentioned, and that corrected the differences
between the DSPFFD output between my copy & the original (which had a
number of date type fields - I just ran the SQL for the first one that
had allowed the null value). What it didn't do was fix the format
level ID. That was changed to something different again!

As these files are all mirrored to another box for daily backups I've
been told to make them all LVLCHK(*NO) for the time being - restoring
them in DR would cause problems! We're at V5R2 which needs SI23692,
from the cross reference.
