#22 COPY REPLACING error when using IN as replacemnt value

[csaci]

Several of our programs do a COPY ???? REPLACING 'XXX' BY IN.

When these programs are compiled the following error occurs.

CPBACH.cbl:199: Error: syntax error

Where line 198:199 is

   01  IN-RECORD.
       COPY CPWWPOST REPLACING 'POST' BY IN.

This syntax works on both z/OS and MicroFocus.

I'm thinking that since IN is a resevered word, it is being checked for when doing the replacing. Although, in this situation, IN is never used by itself in any of the fields once the copybook is expanded.
