Peter,
There are usually ways around this one is to copy the member to a
different library and change and then when you compile just add the
library in front of the concatenation. As to why... ask the
dark side:)

The ground problem with COPY's is that they often have the requirement
of standards and "one source at one place". And if You - when You
have
a big organisation and want consistency in developement - are using
meta database products as Datamanager etc, You definitely don't have
the option of changing the COPY !
The whole point of using an option like COPY REPLACE is to make
temporary/local changes of a permanent source. Which means it should
be versatile and flexible. Doing a rigid and limited solution for
the need is to missing the point completely.
Thomas, I know (and you realize this as well) that what I suggested
is a play around to see if the work around worked as advertised. If
it does work then go through change control (like everyone else).
