Sorry I was taking that as given, but you also need to kow if the
replacement occurred in a replace or copy verb as well, IMO.

See http://acm.cs.umr.edu/~gnu-cobol/
There is a link to the mailing list from there and you can ask to

Randall and I have been having a good discussion about various
aspects of the COPY and REPLACE verbs, Randall has a lot of
experience using COBOL and he has clarified a number of things
for me.

FYI my 'preprocessor' is now complete and working but I still
have some testing to do. Nested COPY is working (with full
replacing), replace verbs also working - just need to test until
I run out of new bugs to fix. I did have a bad storage overlay
which took a while to fix - in the process I put in an xmalloc to
validate all the memory allocations and check there are no
overruns etc.
