  ****************************************************************
  OSAM batch is similar to existing VSAM batch. FABZOBAT is sample
  job. You can request a specifc block in an OSAM db ( via OBLK,
  or ORBA ), then DUMP,VER,REP are similar to VSAM batch
  documentation. Bug 2) if a block does not have a valid FSEAP,
  then IMS has not used it yet, and DBR does not show it. Bug 3)
  OSAM with odd blocksize has a 4G size limit, odd rba is a
  true,odd address. OSAM with even blocksize has a 8G size limit,
  odd rba represents address between 4G and 8G, according to IMS
  convention, subtract 1 from odd rba,then add 4G to yield an
  address between 4G and 8G.  bug 4) failing scenario was...
  update a HALDB, update a non-HALDB, try to undo the HALDB, it
  fails.
