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.
