COPY for file string is recursive

Cause

A COPY statement for file filename has been found while processing a previous occurrence of a COPY specifying the same file.


Action

Check the COBOL source for recursive COPY. A single COPY file may need to be replaced with multiple, uniquely-named COPY files to achieve the desired results.
