As I recall, quite a while ago, the RPG team put in /INCLUDE as the
equivalent of /COPY specifically to circumvent some issue that the SQL
pre-compiler folk couldn't fix quickly.

Might be worth trying /INCLUDE.

Coding /include causes the precompiler to ignore the directive so it won't see things like nested /copy or other directives that it doesn't like. Coding /copy after column 7 has the same effect of getting the precompiler to ignore it.
