Comments:
You should only use the COPYPATH directive when compiling using the cobol command line utility, and not when building programs from within the IDE.
When you use this directive, the Compiler does not search the COBCPY environment variable. Note that some of your COBOL development system's components rely on COBCPY being set to find copy files.
You cannot specify environment variables as a parameter for this directive.
