Robin, Interesting....I would have said the same thing (if asked), that you can't have binary search on variable length keys. Is your code posted C+ ?? I don't know it at all.
The code is PL/I.
How would you do this in Assembler ??
The original was in XPL, published in 1970 (but used well before that in an unpublished earlier version). In XPL, each string is accessed via descriptor that contains in a single word the memory address and the length.
