Hi
Why don't you try running it just to see what happens?
The program could be only one display at the beginning with the contents of ws-var-1, the INSPECT statement and another display in the end.

The INSPECT statement has a wide range of options and possibilities.
I think that you really should read the manual and, try out the different options, and then choose the one that you think will do it better.
