IGZCIN1

IGZCIN1 is an INSPECT library routine that processes the INSPECT verb. INSPECT converts or replaces characters in a string. It is usually used for data input validation or text processing. IGZCIN1, rather than IGZCINS, should be used when the first or leading modifier is variable length reference modified.

Hints

According to IBM, using an INSPECT verb in conjunction with a reserved word, such as SPACES or LOW-VALUES, causes an exit from the user application program. Changing the word SPACES to ' ' (an actual space) eliminates the CPU time used by IGZCIN1.
