Error description
When two ptf have the same lpp_name, i.e. : U833307.bff 4 N I bos.help.msg.en_US { bos.help.msg.en_US.smit 06.01.0005.0000 1 N U en_US SMIT Context Helps - U.S. English ... U833306.bff 4 N I bos.help.msg.en_US { bos.help.msg.en_US.com 06.01.0005.0000 1 N U en_US WebSM/ SMIT Context Helps - U.S. English bffcreate -c will not rename the second file with .1 like bos.help.msg.en_US.6.1.5.0.N.I.1 So the second ptf file will overwrite the first one, so one ptf is lost.
Local fix
Using bffcreate to copy the fileset from one directory to another will correctly create two files : bffcreate -X -q -v -t <target> -d <source>
Problem summary
When running bffcreate -c ..., if there is more than on PFT with the same LPP name, unique filenames will not be created.
Problem conclusion
Append number to the LPP filename to generate a unique file name. Running bffcreate without the -c option already does this.
Temporary fix
