The literal answer to your question is COPY. Assembler COPY is completely the

Warren, that depends slightly. Put a member in some MACLIB. If it is
truly a copybook, then COPY member (not in column 1, I usually put COPY
in 10 and member in 16). If it is truly a macro, then just specify the
name, like IHAPSA DSECT=YES and it will expand (again not in column 1).

The book shows the copyright is held by IBM, but it doesn't appear to have a
normal IBM manual number.
Is there anyone from IBM who could do something about this? Maybe get the
source released to a Creative Commons license if they don't plan to update it?
Please?
