Re: copy statement question...

Tommy,

They are probably using a copybook in the File-Control section.
The member name is SELECTEXUH and the source file is IASTP089.

When you compile the program and look at the post list you'll
spot it for sure :)

Subject: [COBOL400-L] copy statement question...

Ok i've seen COPY statements many times but this is the first
time i've
run into this before (and try googling COPY SELECT...)

The statement is:

COPY SELECTEXUH IASTP089

The corresponding data division code:
FD EXUHFILE
LABEL RECORDS STANDARD
COPY FDEXUH

Can someone tell me in plain English exactly what this is
doing? (bear in
mind i'm an RPG guy..not COBOL so simple is better)

Thanks,
Tommy Holden
