I have a Variable which contains the data like this.
'ABC' '' '12' 'WE' '' 'RY' '' 'REST' 'GR'
I need to find out the occurances of this string"' '' '" (double occurances of single quotes).
Can any one help me out in this.
For the above case the count should be 2 as there are two occurances of single quotes of this tpte ' '' ' |

Hello,
You need to use the "Code" tag when you post "data" (or code or jcl or. . ).
It appears the count you menton is incorrect - there are 3 sets, not 2.
Please correct your post in a reply that uses the "Code" tag. |

Hi,
I assume that you have to capture
in your input string.
Try to use the following code-
| Code: |
| INSPECT ws-string TALLYING K FOR ALL X'7D407D7D407D' |
Hope it helps.

Hello,
Still looking for the corrected/coded post. . .
| Code: |
| INSPECT ws-string TALLYING K FOR ALL X'7D7D' |
should tally the number of times there are consecutive pairs of single quotes. |

Dick I believe, He has to validate double quotes ie
So If that is the case; he has use 7F in inspect Verb
| Code: |
| INSPECT ws-string TALLYING K FOR ALL X'7F' |

No, he needs a pair of x'7d's (as i previously posted).
Notice that x'7f' is the hex for a 1-byte double-quote - which has nothing to do with the request.
| Code: |
| INSPECT ws-string TALLYING K FOR ALL X'7F' |
There is no reason at all to do this. . .
I suspect you posted something you "think", but did not test. Please re-read the original request and then look at what you suggested. They are not the same. If you post a suggestion/solution, it should be tested and you should verify what you tested and the result you received when you ran the test. |

Extremely Sorry for the late reply...
Dick as you said it should be 3 only.
I have to count the occurances of consecutive pair of quotes.

Cristopher you are correct.This is my requirement.
Can i go ahead with Cristopher Solution..Please let me know your Views. |

If you use this, it will possibly allow a pair of x'7d' bytes to be missed. Using the "Christopher code" will only find the set of doubles when they bounded by spaces and other quotes.
If you use what i posted, you will find the pairs regardless of "their neighbors".
What should be the result when the data contains:
| Code: |
| 'ABC' '' '12' 'WE' '' 'RY' '' '' 'REST' 'GR' '' |

How was 3 determined? The data contains 5 sets of doubled single-quotes 
Neither the Christopher code nor mine will give a result of 3. The Christopher code will give 2 and mine will give 5. How/why would you get 3? |

Sorry Dick It is Parallox Error.I should get 2.
Thanks for the correction.
Dick can you please explain why your code gives 5. |

Hello,
From earlier:
| Quote: |
| Code: |
| INSPECT ws-string TALLYING K FOR ALL X'7D7D' |
should tally the number of times there are consecutive pairs of single quotes. |
On the original data, both the Chrostopher code and the code i posted would return 3.
| Quote: |
| Dick can you please explain why your code gives 5. |
Because the sample data was not (IMHO) a good representation, i added to the original as:
| Code: |
| 'ABC' '' '12' 'WE' '' 'RY' '' '' 'REST' 'GR' '' |
Note that there now are 5 pairs. My code will "count" all 5. The Christopher code will only count 2. Why should the original count be 2 - there are clearly 3
I believe that before you implement anything, you need to make sure you have a consistent requirement definition that makes sense. What you have described so far is not consistent and i expect would cause long-term problems when executed or maintenance was needed.
If we get to a common understanding of what is really needed, i'll be happy to go back over the topic and edit the replies so that what you really need is what remains in your topic  |

looking at the OP's original post,
it appears
(i assume)
that the 'double single quotes' could be looked at
as double colons in a csv file where the double colon indicates an unfilled field.
Wthout the benefit of code/code tags,
hard to see what really is there,
since we can not tell where spaces are.
will be interesting to see what guidance his lead provides. |

You're welcome
I also need to add that there is nothing wrong with the Christopher code. It is possible that the "wider" search value is what is needed. I did not want to imply that one way was right and the other wrong, just that they enforce different "rules". |

Hi all,
I tried the below solution but it didn't work and the count was zero.
| Code: |
| INSPECT STR-1 TALLYING W-CNT FOR ALL '''''''' |
But when I moved
to a variable and tried it worked.
i.e.
| Code: |
MOVE " '''''''' " TO STR-2
INSPECT STR-1 TALLYING W-CNT FOR ALL STR-2. |
Corrections are welcome. |

Hello,
I am having trouble relating your post to the requirement of this topic
Maybe if you explain the string of quotes ( '''''''' ), it will help me understand. |

Hi Dick,
To find out consecutive occurence of ' (single code) I will inspect the string with " '''''''' ". (Here '''' will represent one single code).
But when I harcoded codes in the inspect statement (as given below) it was not working. The count was zero.
INSPECT STR-1 TALLYING W-CNT FOR ALL ''''''''
Instead of harcoding, I moved " '''''''' " into another variable and used it in the inspect statement and it worked (as given belwo).
MOVE " '''''''' " TO STR-2
INSPECT STR-1 TALLYING W-CNT FOR ALL STR-2.
Hope Iam clear. Corrections are welcome. |

Hello,
Yes, but where did the requirement to tally a string of single-quotes come from
It is not part of the requirement that Sri asked about. |

Hi Dick,
The solution that I had provided would find out the number of occurances of two consecutive ' (single code). This is the requirement right!!!! Correct me if Iam wrong. |

Yup, sure is
The "string" of quotes did not equate to one pair of consecutive single-quotes to my (easily confused) mind 
When i've needed to use one or more quotes as a data value, i've put something in ws (like dbz recommended or with the value QUOTE), or i've used the hex value inline. |

Hi Dick,
It was a mistake from my side. Actually I moved the string of quotes into STR-2 which was defined as X(02). Thats the reason why my code was working. As suggested by Dick B, we can move " '' " into a string and use in inspect.
Ex:
| Code: |
STR-2 PIC X(02) VALUE "''".
INSPECT STR-1 TALLYING W-CNT FOR ALL STR-2
|
or we can use
| Code: |
INSPECT STR-1 TALLYING W-CNT FOR ALL ''''''
|
Hope this helps. Corrections are welcome. |
