We are migrating IDMS database from BS2000 to z/OS. When we are migrating the COBOL source the following piece of code is throwing me compilation error.

Code:
INSPECT WA-CONSTITUANT REPLACING ALL "- " BY " "


Since my REPLACING and BY operands are of different lengths it is thowing me compilation errors.

In BS2000 COBOL, it allows even the lengths are different. When I was discussing with client they are saying like aim of the INSPECT function (in this case) is to reduce the length of the string in oder to be able to display the info on the screen.

Can you guys suggest some way to overcome this situation?

Thanks

mm_ak81,

Inspect replace allows only the replacement of like sized values. You can use a perform to check 2 bytes at a time and move the values
