Re: Compiler directive

      /IF NOT DEFINED(copybook-name)
      /DEFINE(copybook-name)
copybook data goes here
      /ENDIF

You know, that may even look cleaner that what we currently are doing. Our 
main programs have:
      /If not defined(JOBI0200)
      /INCLUDE ROUTINES/QAPISRC,JOBI0200
      /EndIf
When they simply could have
      /INCLUDE ROUTINES/QAPISRC,JOBI0200
And then the member JOBI0200 could have:
      /If not defined(JOBI0200)
      // ... all the stuff that JOBI0200 currently has...
      /EndIf
And we wouldn't have to retrofit our current main programs.
And if someone wrote a main program and forgot the /IF they wouldn't get 
burned.
