Thanks for the information.  Are your changes also under the GNU
license?  Would like to try to incorporate the changes of the various
vbisam versions into one version.  So far, I've looked through the
code of three different variants and incorporated what I could into
one set of patches.

Does anyone have any example programs for working with vbisam (in
Cobol or C)?  I've been searching the Internet, but haven't been able
to turn up much in the way of examples or more detailed documentation.
I did find one source code example using vbisam in the Getting Started
guide at https://open-cobol.sourceforge.io/  Would be nice to have
some other code samples to use as test cases to see if the builds are
working properly.

Sincerely,
Laura
