I have taken over development of some programs which were designed to use copybook members to define a data structure and allow me to segment a flat file into fields to be written to a database file. I have a multi-member copybook with the following:
/If Defined(Include_dsFileFormat)
D dsFileFormat DS 300
D field names go here
/EndIf
There are a smattering of program examples which include code such as:
/If Not Defined(Prototype)
H NoMain Option(*NoDebugIo:*SrcStmt)
/EndIf
/Include COPYBOOK
/If Defined(Prototype)
/EOF
/EndIf
The author is not available to me at the moment and other programmers in the area have not seen this type of process. If I remove the /If Defined() statements from the copybook, the program compiles properly, but if I leave them in, I get a compile listing showing that each of the member elements was excluded.
What would be the proper method of coding my RPG main program so that the copybook would pull in only the element described?
