Yes, it is on the CBTTape site, http://cbttape.org/updates.htm, in file 897. This is version 3.8.0. There are some examples of how to use the supplied SQLITE3A "glue" program to invoke the SQLite API using fairly normal COBOL CALL verbs. However, the sqlite data is kept in a z/OS UNIX file, not a legacy data set.
The above includes the entire z/OS UNIX subdirectory which was used to create the SQLITE3 port. This includes all the source, the makefile, and support scripts. But it is a z/OS subdirectory. There is a job which shows how to restore the directory. But it also restores the executable code into a PDSE library which is "ready to use" without, hopefully, needing any customization. Note that due to the C language, the library _must_ be a PDSE as best as I can tell. The weirdest thing is that the floating point data is kept in z/OS BFP (IEEE) floating point instead of HFP (which is what COBOL uses). However, there are also COBOL callable subroutines to convert to/from BFP/HFP. The "glue" program is written in LE enabled HLASM. Also, since this was compiled on z/OS, under UNIX, all the character data is stored in EBCDIC. This means that it _CANNOT_ be used to access a SQLite data base which was binary ftp'ed from an ASCII based system, such as Windows or Linux. Oh, I guess that I should mention that I'm the one who did the "port". But it was simple because Dr. Hipp had already done 99.9% of the work needed to support EBCDIC. I was very impressed.
