I am forwarding this to comp.lang.cobol to verify my impression that VS
COBOL II, COBOL for MVS and VM and COBOL for MVS and VM have no
restrictions on the use of STRING, UNSTRING and INSPECT.  All of these
are 31 bit compilers.

Dear all,
According to IBM APAR II06138, we should not use STRING, UNSTRING,
INSPECT because they will eat up our 24bit Getvis area. Any
recommendation of alternatives for these 3 words????

Thanks.

Patrick.
