Hm. I think there is some missunderstanding here. If it's from Your

and it is not in his interest (rightfully so) to do a change in the way
we need.
I think we all understand this. But we are saying that the nature of
the CoBOL copy statement (at least the version that I have) is that
unless the copy library was designed with foresight, you're SOL.
I understand that.
How many copy members have you created designed for the REPLACING
option?
None. (The "new" COPY's must be backwards compatible with old programs.)
