Easy answer is - try that at your shop.

If you meant "++INCLUDE" then it's a Panvelet key-word and you can use it only if Panvelet is in use at your shop.

If you meant including the DCLGEN of a DB2 table in the COBOL program - INCLUDE is the way to do it.

as Anuj said:

INCLUDE is a DB2 source code processor (pre-compiler) directive.

INCLUDE means nothing to a CICS pre-compiler,
and i believe that INCLUDE will be rejected by the CICS pre-compiler.
If not, it will be ignored, since the DB2 pre-compiler comments-out all the SQL directives in the source program.

JCL, SQL and code in programs have an irritating habit of doing what you say,
not what you meant.
