Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 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.
  

Temporary fix
