it doesn't read the dds... it reads the specified format in the
specified file.

copy dds-tfacr00 of uavbasef.


The reference fields are used when compiling the file. Then the
descriptions are taken by COBOL from the file.

I have a DDS (RPG) I am trying to use in my Cobol code.
Here is part if the TFACR DDS..........

 A                                      REF(TFUDD)

 A          R TFACR00                   TEXT('Account Criteria File')

 A                                      COLHDG('Ship Account')

The REF(TFUDD) contains the actual field descriptions, sizes, etc.
What syntax do I use to get the Cobol compiler to read the TFACR DDS, but
reference the TFUDD to get the inidividual field size information?

I am using
        COPY DDS-TFACR OF UAVBASEF.

This results in
        No format TFACR found in file UAVBASEF
