RE: newbie prototype question...

Some examples out of the V5.3 reference manual.
C/COPY MBR1 
I/INCLUDE SRCFIL,MBR2 
O/COPY SRCLIB/SRCFIL,MBR3 
O/INCLUDE "SRCLIB!"/"SRC>3","MBR¬3" 
O/COPY /dir1/dir2/file.rpg 
O/COPY /dir1/dir2/file  
O/COPY dir1/dir2/file.rpg 
O/COPY "ifs file containing blanks" 
O/COPY 'ifs file containing blanks'

I did not see in my quick scan any reference to using parentheses.

Thanks, Matt
