To ensure the project builds successfully, you must also add the location of the copybooks to the project's dependencies:
               
               	 
            
 
            	 
             
               		
               - Navigate to 
                  		  Micro Focus > Build Path in the project's properties. 
                  		
               
- Click the 
                  		  Copybooks tab and check the folder that includes the imported copybooks.
