As per my understanding of your requirement - You want to expand the copy book from size 750 to 2550 bytes.
Add FILLLER PIC X(1800) at the end of the 750 byte copy book.
if above is not the answer that you are expecting. Help me understand your problem clearly by providing more details.

Hi,
First question which comes to mind is- how much experience do you have in COBOL?

does not qualify to technical standards, those extra bytes will be used for what is to be decided first otherwise what has been told by Natarajan is the best answer.i have a copy book of 750 byte format..i want to expand it to 2550 byte

Hi Sash,
Please calm down - those queris just help us to give you a rather close answer..nothing is there which should be taken on heart..
When one say
1. One want to "expend" these in a COBOL program itself, so that one can check the variables - or any other reason.
2. You want to increase the size of copy book, as you asked but that's not the way this term is used across shops - usually they say "one want to modify the COPYBOOK" where size of copybook needs to be increased.
