[Tiny-cobol-users] A question about serialization of inspect

[Rildo P. <rpr...@ac...>]

Hi,

I have a simple question about the inspect statement. Trying to make it
less complex, we can serialize the "inspect tallying" clause to make
each count separate, but the same doesn't seem to apply to "inspect
replacing".  For instance:

MOVE "ABABCD" TO VAR

INSPECT VAR REPLACING
    LEADING "AB" BY "CD"
    ALL "CD" BY "EF".

What should be expected after the execution: "CDABEF" or "EFABEF" ?

(sorry I don't have any cobol compiler to test it myself, just ours :)
