No warning message when you are trying to added a already exist routing.

I had encounter a problem when I used AIX command "lsattr -El inet0". I could saw there has two record exist in ODM and these record are direction to the same destination but difference format. I have no message to warning when I am add or delete routing.
for example:
route net,-hopcount,0,,,,,,-static,172.16.22.0,192.168.132.249 Route
route net,-hopcount,0,,,,,,-static,172.16.22,192.168.132.249 Route

    First, did you open a PMR of a defect on this issue? That's the first
    thing that needs to be done, and I can't tell if that happened.

    While "smit route" modifies the ODM inet0 object, "route" does not. So
    deleting a route using "route" doesn't remove the equivalent attribute
    from inet0. And apparently the code underlying "smit route" sees the
    two routes you added as different, so it just adds the second one you
    added rather than complain.

    So rather than use "route" to delete the route, you could have used
    "smit route" and selected "Remove a Static Route", or used

    chdev -l inet0 -a delroute=net,-hopcount,0,,,,,,-static,172.16.22,192.168.132.249
