[open-cobol-list] enhancement to cobpp

[Richard A. Painter]

we have a LOT of code that uses the following format:
        COPY XXXX OF "XXXX".
which produces a parse error.

would it be possible to allow this to function the same as:
        COPY XXXX.

i have added the following code to my cobpp tree to make this happen:

cobpp/scanner.l:
  existing: "OFF"                       { return OFF; }
  added:    "OF"                        { return OF; }

cobpp/parser.y:
change: %token COPY, REPLACE, REPLACING, OFF, BY
to:     %token COPY, REPLACE, REPLACING, OFF, BY, OF

after: COPY NAME '.'                  { include_copybook ($2, NULL); }
add:   | COPY NAME OF NAME '.'                  { include_copybook ($2, NULL); }
