By default the CRTLF command creates a member of the same name as
the logical file which is not always wanted.

There is only a one-to one relationship for logical to physical members
(eg u cannot have a single logical member which points to all 3 physical
members at the same time)

---------------

Mike/Colin,

The last statement above is not true.  A logical member can point at from 1 to
32 members in a physical (or several physicals, in the case of multi-format and
join logicals).  The DTAMBRS parameter defaults to *ALL, which means if you
create a logical file over a multi-member physical with the defaults, the
logical file will contain one member (as Mike noted above) which is scoped over
all of the physical members, or over (I think it's the first) 32 if there are
too many.  I've been burned by this one several times.
