*CONTROL (*CBL) and the COPY Statement

A COPY statement bearing the SUPPRESS phrase overrides any *CONTROL or *CBL options contained in the copied member, but the compiler remembers *CONTROL and *CBL statements that appear in a suppressed COPY member. Once the COPY member has been processed, the last NOSOURCE or SOURCE option in it runs.

If a COPY statement does not bear the SUPPRESS phrase, *CONTROL and *CBL statements within the copied member run immediately.
