That's the kind of thing I did with my CRTDUPFSET (CReaTe DUPlicate
File SET) command.

The first parameter is a qualified file name (which has to be a
physical file).

The second parameter is the target library and defaults to QTEMP.

The third parameter indicates what should be done if the physical file
already exists in the target library (defaults to *TOLIB which means
to delete-and-replace if the target library is QTEMP or issue an
escape message if the target library is not QTEMP).

The fourth parameter indicates whether the data should be copied
(defaults to *NO).

The fifth and sixth parameters provide the capability to select or
omit specific logical files from being duplicated (defaults to select
*ALL logicals and omit *NONE).

An escape message is issued if any of the logical files over the
specified physical file are in a different library.

Copying the data (if requested) is done using CPYF, not as part of the
underlying CRTDUPOBJ.

I forgot that CRTDUPFSET also has a parameter for whether or not *JOB
overrides should be created. (Needed in our environment when creating
into QTEMP because our main database library is also the current
library.)

And I also have a DLTFTSET command to delete a file set.

Here's what the command prompt screens look like (best viewed with a
fixed-width font):
