How to Expand the copybook in COBOL Programme itself. I know that the copy book will expand in Precompilation time when we code Copy COPYBOOKNAME IN COBOL PROGRAM.

My requirement is while coding the program I want to refer the one variable name in copy book, for this we need to open the copy book explicitly. For convenience purpose expand the copy book in program itself.

anything other than expanding the copybook as notelines could lead to problems if you save the module without deleting the 'expanded copybook'.

suggest that you utilize SWAP and cut&paste.
