Has anyone ever identified a process to handle either RSTLIB or 
CRTDUPOBJ for cross-library logicals: those pesky logical files that 
join physical files in two different libraries (they can also be created 
as SQL VIEWs these days).
The problem is simple.  I can create a logical ABC1/LF over ABC1/PF and 
ABC2/PF.  But if I save and restore those libraries to a different name 
(say XYZ1 and XYZ2), I end up with a "broken" logical.  XYZ1/LF ends up 
being created over XYZ1/PF and ABC2/PF.   The same happens if I try to 
do a CRTDUPOBJ of ABC1/LF to XYZ1/LF.
I have found no way short of recreating the logical file with CRTLF (or 
RUNSQLSTM for a VIEW) to link the logical correctly to both physicals.
This has been a problem for 30 years, which is why I've since avoided 
them like the plague.  But I have a few of them I'm dealing with right 
now and they're quite annoying, and I was hoping something had changed 
over the years.  :)
