Tallying in INSPECT is mainly used to count the trailing spaces and number of characters in a string. Say for example: Var1 is defined with size of 20bytes. And it contain the value as "Mainframe". So in order to find the how many bytes are used in the actual 20bytes, we can first reverse the string, and then find for Leading space by using Tallying. Then we can subtract this space count from the length of Var1(Which is nothing but 20). Then the final result will be the number of bytes occupied(Which is nothing but 20-11=9.

-> Inspect is used to count the number of characters in a string.
-> Inspect is used for replacing the string of characters.
-> It is also used for converting the string of characters.


Let us see examples for above 3 cases.
Eg1:
01 ws-count pic 9(2).
01 ws-cobol pic x(16) value 'this is srinivas'.
procedure division.
Inspect ws-cobol tallying ws-count for all 'i'.
display ws-count.
stop run.
// here we will get output 4.

Eg2:
Inspect ws-cobol Replacing all 'i' by 's'.
display ws-cobol.
stop run.
// here we will get out put 'thss ss srsnsvas'.

Eg3:
Inspect converting 'this is srinivas' to 'THIS IS SRINIVAS' .
// here we will get output as THIS IS SRINIVAS.
