Hi,
Is it possible to copy copybook in the CICS region just like newcopy of
program. I had a new program and new copybooks too. While executing
I am getting an error 'error while invoking the the copybook'.
Can anyone suggest me what needs to be done.

Thanks,
Jwell

I think you are confusing yourself.
CICS NEWCOPY is nothing but its way to load a fresh load module to be used in CICS.
This is used when you create a new program or modify an existing one. There is loads and loads explained in other threads regarding this.

It has nothing to do with the new copybooks in the programs.
If you have new copybooks that are used in your new programs good for you. You just have to issue a NEWCOPY for CICS to be able to use latest load module of your program.

However, coming back to your error: 'error while invoking the the copybook'

Looks more like error thrown by your program rather than CICS.
And you said you are getting error while 'executing'. How do you get the error? you mean to say your program throws error on the screen or the transaction is ended and you look in your abend report to see the error?

Hi,

if you had used endevor to compile your cics programs. then you must add the copybooks using endevor and then compile your program

if not try and check out the abend aid.
