Hi All,

i am trying to compile a copybook, the copybook is:

EDIT       Z80076.SAMPLE.SANDEEP(F040860) - 01.03          Columns 00001 00072

Are you trying to compile the copybook without a COBOL program? if so, be aware that you will NEVER be able to do this. A copybook MUST be part of an actual COBOL program; it does not stand alone.

If you have the copybook in a program, post the source code, including the COPY F040860 statement in the program.

ok so copybook is never compiled without a proper COBOL program, posting source code having the copybook worked fine.

From the Enterprise COBOL Language Reference manual, version 6.3, page 522 (emphasis added by me):

The COPY statement is a library statement that places prewritten text in a COBOL compilation unit. Prewritten source code entries can be included in a compilation unit at compile time. Thus, an installation can use standard file descriptions, record descriptions, or procedures without recoding them. These entries and procedures can then be saved in user-created libraries; they can then be included in programs and class definitions by means of the COPY statement. Compilation of the source code containing COPY statements is logically equivalent to processing all COPY statements before processing the resulting source text. The effect of processing a COPY statement is that the library text associated with text-name is copied into the compilation unit, logically replacing the entire COPY statement, beginning with the word COPY and ending with the period, inclusive. When the REPLACING phrase is not specified, the library text is copied unchanged.
