A COBOL program in source form is a text file. I suggest that you
write a COBOL program that takes a given source file as input and
then opens each copy statement in turn, adding its code to the
output, and when a copy statement is encountered then closing the
current file, opening the copy file encountered etc. In other 
words one can write a COBOL program to do what you want. 

When you complete that task I hope you share it with the rest of
us.
