Answer / vikas pujar
At File and WS section we declare variables so copy is used
oftenly in projects , in ENV Division just declare files
ddname and logical file name in Input-output section, so
its not used here.
Copy Copybook1, if this is copybook name this can be used
only once tn program either in file section or ws section,
or else will get error that duplicate varaiable names used.
Copy used at File-Section or WS section behaves same way,
so dont think there is any diff in the way Copy behaves at
diff sections.

There is no difference.
COPY statement just copy all the lines from the copybook
into the source code.
When we feel some piece of codes are used repeatly then we
can code it into the copylib.
So, it is in our hand where to use COPY.
