Perfect! That did the trick and solves my issue. I wasn't even using the offending field.

Instead of using COPY DDS-...... use COPY DDR. The compiler will replace the # with an 'N' (and $ with D, etc.)

subject: [COBOL400-L] COPY REPLACING Issue
I am trying to work with an older DDS database and a field in the file has a #
character in the field name. The COBOL compiler doesn't like that much. I've
been trying to use the COPY REPLACING option, but every time I set up the
"from" field name, it chokes because of the # character. Anyone have an
example of how to get this to work?
