Expand Copy in COBOL




I am running WDSc 5.1.  I'm using the LPEX editor on a COBOL program.  Can
I expand the following copy statement in the source code, so I can copy the
field names into other statements?  I don't know how to do it.

      SELECT XMIT-QUEUE-FILE
               ASSIGN       TO DATABASE-UT569L03
               ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED
               ACCESS MODE  IS SEQUENTIAL
               RECORD KEY   IS EXTERNALLY-DESCRIBED-KEY.

      /
       DATA DIVISION.
       FILE SECTION.

       FD  XMIT-QUEUE-FILE
           LABEL RECORDS ARE STANDARD.
       01  XMIT-QUEUE-REC.
           COPY DD-ALL-FORMATS OF UT569L03.
