Include( exec sql include *** end-exec) is usually used to include table dclgens that contains the column descriptions of the table(which will be used for column check while precompilation) and host variable declarations for the table columns( that can be used as host variable in ur program).

Copy statement can add any copybooks from your copy book library. copybook can be either a piece of code or a part of working storage declaration..(anything that comes as part of the code as it gets pasted to the code).

Please correct me If my understanding is wrong..
