Hi There,
1) First check how many program are using that copybook
2) Analyse all the program whether they are populating some grop variable / file by directly group move the whole copybook in that case
u need to change the pgm also
Ex.
Copybook
| Code: |
01 WS-ILF011-VIEW.
05 POLICY-NUMBER PIC X(11).
05 CLAIM-ID PIC X(6).
05 OCCURANCE-DATE PIC X(8).
05 END-DATE PIC X(8). |
in our program if coding is like this
| Code: |
| MOVE WS-ILF011-VIEW TO OUT-REC. |
In that case we need to change coding because now we are going to add
one more field in copy book
3) Then change the copy book & program
4) compile & test all the effected program |

You want to add a new variable in the copybook.These are the steps to be followed
Step1:
Find the length of the new variable.If possible,try to use the filler clause in the existing copybook layout, so that the record length doesnot vary.
Step 2:
Find all the programs that are using this copybook.Analyse the impacts in the program ,because of the copybook changes.
Step 3:
After adding the new variable in the copybook, the programs that uses this copybook have to be recompiled in order to make them the changes in the copybook to come into effect. |
