Resolution:

When using third party (RDBMS) COBOL precompilers, you need to ensure that the precompiler option for specifying include directories, and/or the COBCPY environment variable setting, are set correctly for locating copy files supplied by the RDBMS vendor.

For example, with DB2 applications, the copy files are located under $DB2DIR/include/cobol_mf (UNIX) or �2DIR%\\include\\cobol_mf (Windows), so the COBCPY environment variable needs to include that directory..
