If the records of a file contains single layout then one would use Cobol "COPY" verb to include the copybook in Cobol. I would like to know how we would include the copybook of a file which contains multiple layouts created as XREF member in File-Aid?

Thanks in advance.

COPY is not actually a cobol verb. It is a compiler-directive. It tells the compiler to do something.

I don't know of a particular limit to the contents of a copybook. Put it in a program. Compile it. Check for error messages.
