Too Long; Didn't Read
At least 65% of the world's code is still written in COBOL, with 5 Billion new lines a year being written. At some point that old COBol code is going to have to be rewritten or maintained because of how stable and clean it is. The #define command is almost the same as the $DEFINE command in C/C/C++/etc. The advantage to using the COPY command to retrieve members from a COPYLIB is that you can do dynamic text replacement.
