Re: Using a copybook

Alan

Crazy idea - maybe you could have a generic data structure in the copybook - then declare the ones you want in each program with LIKEDS and PREFIX - something like that - am on vacation so brain is elsewhere!

Or have the one in the copybook be BASED - then no memory taken. Or use the TEMPLATE keyword in recent release(s).

Sorry about that. I have just realized my mistake. The qualifier needs to
be in the copybook itself

Morning all
I have created a copybook of fields that are required for a number of
programs.
However, when I include this copybook into one particular program, the
program will not compile
My question is, can you use a prefix of qualifier on a copybook?
If so, how? My attempt at either of these results in different compile
errors.

Thanks in advance
