ISRLEMX should expand Copybooks even if COPY is not the first word of the line

I try expanding copybooks into our sources using ISRLEMX. But this doesn't work for most of our Cobol-programs as ISRLEMX only seems to work if COPY is the first word of the line. ISRLEMX should support all possible COPY codings supported by the Cocol-standard, so it should also work if there is a vairable name followed by the COPY statement, for example.

    @Oliver

    Do you consider using IBM Enterprise Cobol with options : «  MDECK(NOCOMPILE,SQL) » ?

    This will expand COPYBOOKs
    and SQL INCLUDE.

    What about COBOL V6 and conditionnal compilation ? (conditionnal inclusion of COPY) ?
