Why am I getting message "Failed to fetch COPY" when editing an HLASM member in visual studio code?

I am new to visual studio code and trying to edit an HLASM member using the Broadcom HLASM extension.

Everything is great until the editor hits an assembler COPY statement, and then I get the message: "Failed to fetch COPY".

The code segment looks like this:

 
         EQUS  ,                                                        01000000
                                                                        01010060
         COPY  GLOBALS                                                  01020000
                                                                        01030000
         EJECT ,                                                        01040000

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
