Error description
In some cases when the reference-modified length is greater than one, the TALLYING result in identifier-2 is computed incorrectly. USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling and running programs containing format 1 of the INSPECT statement (INSPECT TALLYING without the REPLACING phrase) where identifier-1 is a reference-modified LINKAGE SECTION item whose PICTURE clause is PICTURE X(1), and compiling with the OPT(1) or OPT(2) compiler option.
Local fix
BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION A possible workaround is to change the PICTURE X(1) item to PICTURE X(n) where n is the largest reference-modified length used at runtime.
