FWIW, I hade the same problem and posted it to this list last Year. No one had any solution to that, despite many otherwise very helpful answers. The main problem is the need for nesting.
AFAICS, the only solution lies outside the compiler COPY function, like having You own "preprocessor" of the codes etc. Regards, Thomas Berg __________________________________________ Thomas Berg Specialist IT-U SWEDBANK > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Amlan > Skickat: den 14 oktober 2008 08:54 > Till: [email protected] > Ämne: Nested COPY statement with the REPLACING > > As per the latest COBOL Version: > "COPY statements can be nested.
