Al,

I think you're confused a bit...

A logical file member doesn't contain anything, the data you see in a logical file is actually in the
physical that the logical is built over.

You can create a new logical member with ADDLFM, but honestly I don't see what that will do for you as
like I said above, you'd still be working with the same data.

I think perhaps you want to CRTDUPOBJ on the physical and logical.

HTH,

Charles Wilt

Subject: Copy Member

I'm n V5R1.

I want to copy a logical member to a new member with duplicate contents,
with different name, to use in new programs I want to test and tweak
outside the job stream. I do not have source code for the old logical
member. I was looking for something like CPYLFM.

A job stream, of a ton of programs, creates a logical file member.
Various programs access it via OVRDBF, they populate its physical records,
update them, use them, in the job stream, leave the physical data in
place,
clear the logical member, and delete the overrides.

I want to leave the job stream as is, except before the clearing, copy the
logical member to a new member with identical contents, but different
name,
to use in new programs to be tested and tweaked outside the job stream.

Is that doable?
