Hi,
Why the include can't be used in procedure division of a DB2-COBOL program?
Can a copybook having DCLGEN of a table be given with COPY command in a DB2-COBOL program?
Thanks.

Hi arrbee,

You can use INCLUDE in procedure division of a DB2-COBOL program.
But the expansion of INCLUDE should not contain any DECLARATION STATEMENTS or TABLE DECLARATION GENARATIONS...
INCLUDE expands in Pre Compilation stage where as COPY expands in Compilation stage.
So normally we don't use INCLUDE statements in PROCDEURE DIVISION.

Can a copybook having DCLGEN of a table be given with COPY command in a DB2-COBOL program?
You cannot use DCLGEN of a table with COPY statement if u are using DCLGEN fields in SQL commands in the program, why because COPY expands in Compilation stage and not in Pre Compilation stage.
You will get undefined variable error for COBOL correspondent table fields that are used in SQL commnads in the program
Thanks
