The normal way to deal with this would be to wrap the relevant code sections in IF DEFINED blocks so that they could be skipped. The problem is that you'd need to add the DEFINEs to the vendor copy book too.

Can't think of a way to do it without creating a second version of your copy book that omits all the components defined by the vendor.

Hello All

I am writing an interface pgm to a vendor package we have.
I have a standard service pgm binding directory and copy book (APIBD and APICP) that I use everywhere and have several standard routines.

My problem is that when I interface with the vendor product, they also have a copy book that contain the SDS, which make my pgm fail to compile because of it being duplicate.

I want (need) both in my pgm.
Is there a way to rename mine? I want to use many of the modules in my service pgm.
