Hi,
In one of the existing Cobol programs, I saw command:
COPH LOGACTW.
Where LOGACTW is a copybook.
Could anyone please explain what exactly does COPH do and how is it different from normal cobol COPY command?
Thanks,
Rohin |

As its in existing code, I wonder how this code is working.
I hope there is no such keyword used in cobol.
Correct me if I am wrong. |

A capital "H" is South Southeast of a capital "Y" on the keyboard.
Suffice to say this is a typo-error.  |

To avoid these kinds of small typo error, I always make 'HILITE COBOL ON'. If it is COBOL Keyword/Reserve word it will be in RED color (Default Color) else it will be in Green.
Also I hope if you are going to Compile this code it will surely gives Compile error. |

Should I say, it could be site specific, I use "HI COB"...

if so, you might like to check whether this
is an "active" statement of the program or not. |

'HI COB' is nothing but abbreviation of 'HILITE COBOL'. |

Hello,
Post the output of a Clean Compile of this statement. Not the entire compile, just the bits concerning this. |

| Without seeing the output requested by dick, another possibility is that COPH might be a reserved word in some of of pre-compile step. |

Hello,
Searched in the DB2 and CICS manuals and COPH is not found.
Possibly it is some other vendor's "front end" . . . |

No - do not do a screenshot - a cut and paste using the code tags is quicker and more efficient file-size wise. |

This is not a Typo. COPH is used to copy host variables into EXEC SQL statement block.
EXEC SQL
SELECT VAR1, VAR2 FROM TABLE1
COPH DB001
WHERE VAR3 = XXX
EXEC-END
where DB001 may contain
INTO :WS-VAR1, :WS-VAR2 |

So you are not sure then and doing a guess work, you can do the same by using COPY/INCLUDE. Do you have a link to the manual which explains COPH?
Besides, Please don't tailgate any old trade, if you want to discuss something then start a new topic.
