PH63799: AT OPT(1|2), INSPECT {SOURCE} TALLYING LEADING SPACES INSPECTS A CONSTANT RATHER THAN THE {SOURCE} FIELD

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An INSPECT {source} TALLYING {count} FOR LEADING SPACES (or FOR
  ALL SPACES) statement gives an incorrect count, and the
  generated code is found to be using a constant value instead of
  the {source}.
  

Local fix

• Compile at OPT(0)
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
  *                 programs at OPT(1|2) that have two data      *
  *                 items that share the same storage where a    *
  *                 value is stored in one of the items, the     *
  *                 REVERSE function is used on the other item,  *
  *                 and then the first item is used in another   *
  *                 statement.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The result of the statement using the   *
  *                      first data item following the REVERSE   *
  *                      uses the value stored in the first      *
  *                      item before the REVERSE, not the        *
  *                      reversed value.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler didn't account for the REVERSE modifying the first
  data item indirectly (as modifying the value for the second
  item also modifies the value for the first).
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was fixed to account for REVERSE modifying the
  first data item.
  

Temporary fix
