Hi all,

I tried the below solution but it didn't work and the count was zero.

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.

Krishna,

Edited your post with BBCode, in case it didn't reflect what you actually wanted to convey, please PM to me. BTW, I echo Dick.

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.

Krishna,
Please use BBCode to preserve accurate spacing. See FAQ.

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:
