Vern,while PDM typically does.
Certainly I can override the DATA() parm in WRKOBJ or WRKOBJPDM - what
I am not understanding is where the DATA(*YES) in WRKOBJPDM gets
defined - how is the WRKOBJPDM CRTDUPOBJ DATA(*YES) override
specified? Is that something we would have done? Or does PDM override
that somehow? I don't see a place to configure this.

Subject: Re: CRTDUPOBJ - WRKOBJPDM vs WRKOBJ
Hi Paul
First, the 4 version of CRTDUPOBJ are there for compiling CL to
previous releases. The normal daily usage is the one in QSYS.
Second, WRKOBJ is a basic system command, while WRKOBJPDM is a
developer (and maybe system administrator) tool with some assumptions.
Perhaps the designers of PDM decided that normal use of CRTDUPOBJ
would be to include the data. It appears that WRKOBJ makes no choices
for values, instead, it simply uses the defaults. Note that WRKOBJPDM
doesn't give you a choice about replacing an object that already exists,
recall.
I am not on a system so I don't know - can you press F4 in WRKOBJ when
you take the 3 option? Or can you put the DATA(*YES) parameter on the
command line? The latter is a way to override default parameters, as I
link:

I am confused about the following:
I run command WRKOBJPDM LIB(library) Obj(name*) to get a list of
name* objects. I execute option 3 with prompt to run CRTDUPOBJ
command on a physical file. The command pops up with parm
DATA(*YES). So when I copy the file, the data comes with it.
I run command WRKOBJ lib/name* to get the same list of files. I
execute an option 3 with prompt to run CRTDUPOBJ command. The
command pops up with parm DATA(*NO). So when I copy the file, the
data DOES NOT

The default on the CRTDUPOBJ command is DATA(*NO).
I cannot figure out where the CRTDUPOBJ from the WRKOBJPDM display is
getting the DATA(*YES).
Can some one point me to where this would override behavior would be
defined?
There are 4 versions of CRTDUPOBJ on the system - but the only one I
would be accessing is in QSYS.
Object Type Library
CRTDUPOBJ *CMD QSYS
CRTDUPOBJ *CMD QSYSV6R1M0
CRTDUPOBJ *CMD QSYSV7R1M0
CRTDUPOBJ *CMD QSYS38
Incidentally, this discrepancy led me to make an EMPTY backup file
when I thought I was making a complete data backup.
Mea culpa for not being diligent.
