Hi Anuj...

Is the concept specific to UNIX or the same will work in mainframes also ??

Binop,

If by UNIX you are referring to MFCOBOL then 'am not sure -- I do not have experience with that.

It works with Enterprise COBOL. For other compilers, please have a look in Manulas.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I will not be able to change the copy book as it is being used by many programs.
Can you please suggest something that can be done in the program itself to resolve the issue.

Have you looked up what the NOT UNIQUE message means? Hint: section 1.8.1.1 on Qualification in the COBOL Language Reference (manuals link at the top of the page) gives you what you need to know.
