Hi Bill...
Well - yes - you've hit the nail on the head - the routines are very
confused because they are expecting to see VB-type records (with a BDW
and RDW) and they are not.
The program uses BSAM I/O.
The issue here is that the program expects to not be directed to a PDS,
and when that accidently happens - things go, as you mention,
alarmingly wrong.
What I'm looking for is some way for the program to say "Hey! This
isn't a sequentional VB file at all." Instead of miserably blowing
up.
