Answer / jadwiga szczech

The result of CPYF command to copy a LF will be independent
PF which will be keyed the same way as copied LF.

If you have PF named CLIENT and LF named CLIENT1 created
over CLIENT with CLT# key field in Library1.
CPYF FROMFILE(Library1/CLIENT1) TOFILE(Lib2/CLIENT1) MBROPT
(*ADD) CRTFILE(*YES)
will create PF named CLIENT1 keyd by CLT# key field in Lib2.

Answer / pushyami t

if we copy logical file using CPYF command then if we see
the new file description using DSPFD command then we
observe like "Type of file " as Physical file.

if we copy using CRTDUPOBJ command then if we see
desciption of new object then it showing "Tpe of file" as
Logical file itself.

Therefore if use CPYF command it is created as PF .so there
is no dependent on any other PF.

Answer / satish goberu
