INCLUDE Statement

When an IEBIMAGE operation group is used to create a new module, the INCLUDE statement can identify an existing image library module to be copied and used as a basis for the new module. When the operation group is used to update an image library module, the INCLUDE statement identifies the module to be referred to and must be specified.

When the INCLUDE statement is coded in an operation group, it must precede any FCB, COPYMOD, TABLE, GRAPHIC, or CHARSET statements.

Only one INCLUDE statement should be coded for each operation group. If more than one is coded, only the last is used; the others are ignored.

You can code an INCLUDE statement for an FCB module only if the DEVICE=4248 parameter is specified on the OPTION statement. Either 3211 format or 4248 format FCBs may be included. IEBIMAGE tries to locate the 4248 format FCB first; if it is not found, IEBIMAGE looks for the 3211 format. You cannot copy a 3800 FCB module with INCLUDE.
