Oh well, I'll try to describe it better maybe

I have, lets say, a file.
I have a line in vendor instruction: "Copy %file% to enviroment to PRECOPY and compile".
I have some homemade naming convention which made me believe it's a copybook, but maybe it's my mistake.
I compile it, then I go to CICS and try to do NEWCOPY, and says "%Program name% not found". Unlike the Cobol folder stuff, which is normally found there.
Is there something I should do to make this new thing work then? Whatever it is?
