<div><p>This example shows how to create new versions of files in the same
library.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>To create new versions of files in the same library, follow these
steps:</p>
<ol><li>Create a new physical file with a different record format in the same
library the old physical file is in. The names of the old and new files should
be different. (The old physical file FILEPFA is in library LIBA and has two
members MBRA1 and MBRA2.) <pre>CRTPF FILE(LIBA/FILEPFB) MAXMBRS(2)...</pre>
</li>
<li>Copy the members of the old physical file to the new physical file. <pre>CPYF FROMFILE(LIBA/FILEPFA) TOFILE(LIBA/FILEPFB)
FROMMBR(*ALL) TOMBR(*FROMMBR)
FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP) MBROPT(*REPLACE)</pre>
</li>
<li>Create a new logical file in the same library as the old logical file
is in. The names of the old and new files should be different. (You can use
the FORMAT keyword to use the same record formats as are in the current logical
file if no changes need be made to the record formats.) The PFILE keyword
must refer to the new physical file created in step 1. The old logical file
FILELFA is in library LIBA. <pre>CRTLF FILE(LIBA/FILELFB)</pre>
</li>
<li>Delete the old logical and physical files. <pre>DLTF FILE(LIBA/FILELFA)
DLTF FILE(LIBA/FILEPFA)</pre>
</li>
<li>Rename the new logical file to the name of the old logical file. (If you
also decide to rename the physical file, be sure to change the DDS for logical
file so that the PFILE keyword refers to the new physical file name.) <pre>RNMOBJ(LIBA/FILELFB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) NEWOBJ(FILELFA)</pre>
</li>
<li>If the logical file member should be renamed, and assume that the
default was used on the Create Logical File (CRTLF) command, issue the following
command:<pre>RNMM FILE(LIBA/FILELFA) MBR(FILELFB) NEWMBR(FILELFA)</pre>
</li>
</ol>

<div class="section"><p>You can use the Change Physical File (CHGPF) command to change
some of the attributes of a physical file and its members. </p>
