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".

I have a source program compiled with Cobol-2. The output file has a record length of 100 defined in the program but a record of 60 bytes getting written into it. i.e. The rest of 40 bytes I am not Writing anything. But it by default puts some values into the last 40 bytes. However it does not impact anything. But when Compiled the module with Enterprise Cobol the last 40 bytes were spaces as fillers. Can anyone explain?
