Hi,

Use Replacing option along with COPY.

Copy book(SAMPLE) defined as :

01 COPY REC
05 Emp-no 9(5).
05 name x(5).

If you want to change the Emp-No to 9(6).

Copy SAMPLE Replacing EMp-no by EMP-no1.
Define EMp-no1 as 9(6.

Answer / sandeep_1985

You need to redefine copybook group variable in program and
then give the new picture clause for that.

I think that is the only way you can do. Correct me if i am
wrong.
