Abstract
The SOURCE TEXT MANIPULATION Module provides facilities for copying source text files into a program during the compilation process. Files which are available for being copied into programs are said to be in COPY files (or copybooks). Typically, these files will contain parts of programs which are identical or similar and are required in more than one program.
