Answer / shikha

Copy File (CPYF) command could be used to copy the source
into a database file.
(CRTDUPOBJ) command to create a copy of an existing object.
The duplicate object has the same object type and
authorization as the original object and is created into
the same auxiliary storage pool (ASP) as the original
object. The user who issues the command owns the
duplicate object.

If you create a duplicate object of a journaled file, the
duplicate object (file) will not have journaling active.
However, you can select this object for journaling
later. If you create a duplicate object and the object
(file) has no members, the last used date field is blank
and the count for number of days used is zero.
