Re: Copying logical files from one library to another

CRTDUPOBJ works as long as the physical file is in the same library as the original logical.
If it is in a different library, the new logical will keep the original based on physical.

Subject: Copying logical files from one library to another

I've seen this done; I've done it myself. But I can never remember how;
neither does the usual RTFM shed a whole lot of light on it:

Given two libraries FOO and BAR, with physical BAZ in both libraries,
and logical QUX on BAZ in FOO, but not in BAR:

I can never remember how to copy a logical (QUX) from one library (FOO)
to another (BAR), so that it picks up the corresponding based-on
physical in the target library (BAR/BAZ) instead of pointing back to the
original one in the source library (FOO/BAZ).

Is it a CPYF or a CRTDUPOBJ?

And what are the required conditions for it to behave as desired?
