You could create a command dltf and place it above the library of DLTF in the library list. You’re command will call a CL to issue the copy followed by the qualified DLTF command.

There is no “best” way. Different versions/releases provide different capabilities and different sites have different requirements.

One way on current releases of the OS might be to use the QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND exit point. And if this didn’t seem to be homework, a discussion of why that might be best could have been included.
