which will increase copybook length
2. Search for Programs used this copybook. Analyse the
usage of field in these programs. If the field value is
moving to any working storage field, start analyse the
impact of that working storage variable
- If the program is a sub-program, validate if this
field moving to main program through linkage section
variable
3. Validate the files linked to the copybook, requires file
