If I understand the comment correctly, that's something that I've done many
many times.  COBOL paragraphs in the COPYLIB are a quick way to create a
pseudo-subroutine.  I have a rule that only COMPLETE paragraphs are put in
the COPYLIB though.  That way PERFORM PARAG-A works almost like CALL
"SUBROUTINEA".

I do convert the more complex chunks of logic into standard subroutines
though.
