i use DSNHPC as the pre-compiler for my DB2-CICS-Cobol pgm, i want to use CICS map variable in my SQL statements but copy books of cics are expanded only in translation step,

my question is how to include these cics copy books in pre-compile step.

Why not you translate first, before precompiling?

Include <copybook name> should work as copy book using Include gets resolved during Precompilation.

sorry yar iam getting error in pre-compilation step, previously i told copy books are expanded in translation but it is not so it is expanded in compilation step only.

so anyone please tell me how to expand copy books in pre-compilation step.(note:- EXEC INCLUDE for copy books is not working)

i made a temprory solution by copying all the copy book variables and i appended it in the dcl member that worked properly but anyone please help how to do it in a proper way.
