Hello All!

I am trying to view (option 8) a copybook (say FUNDCPY) in File Aid. This copybook has a copy statement to include another copybook (FUNDMAX) in it.

Because of this 'Copy' statement, file aid is giving an error. I can successfully view the copybook FUNDCPY when I replace the content of copybook FUNDMAX.

Is there a way by which file aid can pick the content of FUNDMAX on its own. Both the copybooks reside in same PDS - FNNDVRN.CPYLIB.

Code:
VIEW       FNNDVRN.CPYLIB(FUNDCPY) - 01.00    Columns 00
Command ===>                                                          Scroll
000338                10  FUND-LEVEL-INFORMATION   OCCURS                   
000339                                             COPY FUNDMAX.         
000340                                             TIMES.                   
000341 011500             15  FUND-NUMBER                 PIC S9(08) COMP-3.
000342                    15  FUND-TYPE                   PIC X(01).         
000343 011600             15  PARTICIPATION-TYPE          PIC X.             


Error :-

Code:
 File-AID ------------------- SOURCE STATEMENT SELECTI      ERROR NEAR LINE 159
 COMMAND ===>

What makes you think it is that COPY statement that is giving the error? The message says the error is near line 159. line 339 is nowhere near line 159.

Have you contacted the vendor for assistance? If not, why not? They are the experts on the product and certainly can answer your question quickly. Your question probably has been answered in the vendor documentation online already - did you search it?

A Google search on file aid nested copybook indicates that nested copybooks are NOT supported by File Aid. You should contact the vendor, however, to confirm this as the online sources are not very current and could be out-of-date.

Here is the response which I got from Compuware -

Dear Mr. xxx,

Customer Support has updated your Case #01014321: "FA931 viewing a copybook with embedded (nested) copybook in file-aid (option 8)." with a new comment.

Hello xxx, this is a known issue and we have an open enhancement request. We don’t handle COPY in the middle of a COBOL statement. We expect a COPY to retrieve complete COBOL statements, not partial statements. I have added you to enhancement request CWE-80413.
