COBOL Copy DDS Problem

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

A**
A                                      REF(TFUDD)
A**
A          R TFACR00                   TEXT('Account Criteria File')
A**
A            ATORG     R               REFFLD(ORIG)
A            ATSHAC    R               REFFLD(ACCT)
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
