COPY...REPLACING 

Because I understand it better.  

But the Macro preprocessor has its supporters.  

Personally, I prefer the older "cut and paste" method using a decent programmer's editor to replace the text I need. 

Makes things more readable.

Greetings to the -L,

This is a question for all you COBOL programmers out there.

You have to choose between using the Macro preprocessor and the COPY...REPLACING & REPLACE statements.

Which would you choose and why?

Regards,
Robert W.Mills
