If you put a copylib in the compile JCL and don't reference it in your program, then nothing happens.

If you don't include it and do reference the copybook definitions, you will get a 'not found' error.

Copybooks are used with compilers. JCL can use something somewhat comparable but it is a PROC.

Actually if you mention the copybook library in JCL it doesnt expand it in output. While compiling the program, there will be a option asking "Do you need to expand copy book".

Hope this is what you are asking.

Unless there is no variable from the copybook is used in the program there is no issue, but it would result in return of severe code (12) when a variable in the copybook has been used in your application program.
