Copy books are nothing but COBOL code which can be used in
multiple programs are written in a separate member.
By using COPY <COPY BOOK NAME> statement(COPY is a compiler
directive command), The piece of code in the copy book will
get expanded during compilation.
Mostly copy books are used to define file structures, any
variables structures,which can be defined in multiple
programs, also for some common paragraphs(Ex: Abend
paragraphs). This does not mean this is the only usage.
Even file section, for select clause also we can write a
copy books.
Any part of your COBOL program can be written into to a
separate copy book and using copy command it can be
expanded. There is no classification as working storage copy
book or procedure division copy book, If any one stands by
this classification, please let me know any books or
materials you have referred, i will also get updated.
