I have seen in the past and can’t remember how to LIST a module and include the copycodes as well… :?:

Basically I have a PGM with INCLUDE statement and I would like to see the list as:

PGM:

IF #MONTH = ‘JAN’  
INCLUDE MONCODE  
\*\* SOURCE CODE OF COPYCODE MONCODE WOULD COME NEXT  
MOVE #MONTH TO +MONTH  
WRITE +MONTH  
\*\* END OF COPCODE  
ELSE  
IF #MONTH = ‘FEB’  
…

Am I dreaming???

FORMATTED is for maps and data areas.

By default, all external objects will be expanded with

```auto
L module EXPAND
```

Limit the expansion to copycode with

```auto
L module EXPAND C *
```

Very interesting feature. But I think it works on mainframe only… not on Linux/Solaris ☹

I have a COPYCODE which contains an INCLUDE statement of another COPYCODE. When I submit a batch job to print the program using a command like: LIST program WITH DIR EXPAND C \* lib I am not getting the contents of the second COPYCODE. Is there a way to do it? or that’s the way it works - it only print the first COPYCODE level.  
Thanks

I don’t recall EXPAND going more than one level deep, nor do I remember anything about this in the version 8 release notes.

So, the answer to my question is: NO. I didn’t see any limitations on the number of COPYCODE levels, but there is no way to print a second level COPYCODE within it’s calling program.
