Closed as program error.
Error description
Part of the compiler was making an assumption that there was only one literal in the INSPECT statement, which meant that when there were 2 literals, the second one was ignored. When 3+ literals were present, the compiler called the runtime to handle the INSPECT, instead of using generated compiler code, so 3+ literals works fine. USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL Vx.x compiling programs with INSPECT TALLYING statements where there were exactly two literals, each of length one byte, being tallied.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling * * programs with INSPECT TALLYING statements * * where there were exactly two literals, each * * of length one byte, being tallied. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The program tallies only the first * * literal. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF * **************************************************************** The compiler was incorrectly generating a check for only the first of two one-byte literals for INSPECT TALLYING statements.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was fixed to generate checks for both of the two one-byte literals for INSPECT TALLYING statements
