Historically /COPY
procedures contained all of the specifications required for each procedure, so for example xxxxF /COPY
would be used to copy the F lines from another F
spec. However, this practice results in code that is difficult to understand and
maintain. Instead, the use of /COPY
statements should be replaced with explicit declarations.
