The Copyright (COPYRIGHT) command defines the text of a copyright statement to be added to a CL module.

Restrictions:

• The COPYRIGHT command is valid only within an ILE CL module.
• If used, the COPYRIGHT command must follow the PGM command and must precede any other commands except for DCL, DCLF, and DCLPRCOPT.
• Only one COPYRIGHT command will be used by the CL compiler; if more than one are specified, only the first one is used, and warning messages will be issued for additional COPYRIGHT statements.
