Answer / prabhat
As stated above, INCLUDE expands in precompilation and COPY
in compilation.
If that is the case, why we require INCLUDE, can't COPY be
used instead? Here is the reason:
DB2 precompiler can't process COPY statements, not it
connect to DB2 directories to validate the Table Attributes
(Columns, Name, Data Type) and thus uses the DCL statements
embedded in INCLUDE.

Answer / shabukumar
Both are used for copying the data.
However you cannot use copy verb in between exec and end-
exec.
so Include was used instead of copy.
