Copy - Expand the copybook statements during compilation time.

Include - Expand the copybook statements during pre-compilation time. Usually for DELGENS we use INCLUDE as DCLGEN statements needed during pre-compilation process.

surya

• Dec 31st, 2015

Copy will be used in the cobol compile process and Include will be used during the Db2 precompile process. So we include a Dclgen. We cannot copy a dclgen..If so the program will fail the compilation.We can include a copybook too.

NEXT SENTENCE gives control to the verb following the next period. CONTINUE gives control to the next verb after the explicit scope terminator. (This is not one of COBOL II's finer implementations). It's safest to use CONTINUE rather than NEXT SENTENCE in COBOL II.

Continue pushes the control to Add +1 to Input-count. Say if Input-count was 0 then the value will be iterated to 1

Next sentence will never add +1 to Input-count it will bypass the command. Say if Input-count was 0 then the value will remain same.

When NEXT SENTENCE is coded, Program will not add +1 to INPUT-COUNT.
When CONTINUE is coded, +1 will be added to INPUT-COUNT.
