can we use COPY statement in w-s section? how?..

Answer / suresh ramaiyan

I believe, level numbers won't take place while including the copy books in cobol programs.

Here is an example:

01 INPUT-RECORD.
COPY INRECOPY.

where INRECOPY is member name of the copy book library, which is contains group of cobol declarations.

Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
