Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.1 compiling and  *
  *                 running programs that contain INSPECT        *
  *                 statements.                                  *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Runtime performance: Certain INSPECT    *
  *                      statements take longer to execute in    *
  *                      COBOL 6.1 than in COBOL 4.2.            *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The algorithm used to implement INSPECT in COBOL 5 is slower on
  certain cases.
  

Problem conclusion

• The algorithm was changed to improve performance for INSPECT
  statements.
