Nobody ever starts developing a new program (component) from scratch, typically everybody always starts from a copy of an existing component. Just performing a checkout from baseline is not a solution, because you cannot change the member name, the library type or the application you are checking out from).

To take this even a step further: the (existing) component to be cloned may or may not have the same library type, and typically resides in either of these libraries: 

• In a staging library of the same package or another package.
• In a baseline library of the same application or another application.

So how can you do this cloning in ChangeMan ZMF?
