Many thanks, that's a very useful post (and very nostalgic!).
 

 I played around with some of the examples, and got them working with little trouble. The main difference, as far as I can see, between your manual and the COBOL MVT compiler that we have on the turnkey system, is in the way that ISAM records are deleted.
 

 Your manual uses a DELETE statement, that I've never seen before. I did it the more traditional way, by putting HIGH-VALUE in the DELETE-KEY field and then doing a REWRITE. Worked fine, it's the way I remember from about 1967 or thereabouts.I guess things have moved on since then.
