What is the meaning of 'TALLING' verb in cobol?..

Answer / varun v

It would be more if we explain with some example.

Lets use the variable used in Ans #1.

01 ws-variable pic x(10) value 'raja ramesh'

Now to get the total count of R's in 'raja ramesh', we can
use Inspect Tallying command.

INSPECT ws-variable TALLYING WS-TALLY1 FOR ALL 'R'.

Where WS-TALLY1 is a working storage variable which gives
the total count of R'S (Here WS-TALLY1 should be 2)

Answer / thomas vt

the right word is "TALLYING" and not "talling"

TALLYING IS THE COUNT OR NO OF OCCURANCES OF A CHARACTER IN
A STRINg.

for eg:
01 name pic x(7) value 'SUCCESS'
01 count pic 9(2).

INSPECT name TALLYING count FOR ALL 'S'.

and the result will be 3 in the variable "count".
