Error description
INSPECT TALLYING returns incorrect count when using arch(11)
Local fix
Use arch(10) or less.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.1 running * * programs that contain INSPECT TALLYING ALL * * X'00' statements that inspect large (4000+ * * character) data items, compiled with * * ARCH(11) or higher. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: INSPECT TALLYING returns an incorrect * * count. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** The code generated to take advantage of new ARCH(11) vector instructions requires special handling for large data items and when tallying X'00'. The two special cases interacted poorly.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was fixed to generate correct code when both special cases are in effect.
