How a copybook is expanded using COBOL compiler
Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2008 11:32 am
Hello,
I have been compiling COBOL program in OS390 with by invoking the program "IGYCRCTL". I want to know how this works. The area of particular interest is how it expands the copybooks included in the COBOL programs (COPY statements). In the compiler listing, we can see the expanded copybooks. How the compiler does this? Can you please provide me with the details.
Thanks,
Smitha
