Hi,
thanks a lot for the link given. i had gone through this piece of code , but in this input variable length file size and output variable length file size are same ..this is just copy and paste. In my case I have input variable file size is 6104 and output variable file size is having 6175. and hence getting issue.

OK, we're getting somewhere now. Additional questions:

- Is the output VB data set a new data set or existing data set?
- If it is new, please show the JCL DD statement for it.
- If it is existing, please show an ISPF 3.4 data set information listing for it.
- Have you browsed the output VB data set to verify that you are, in fact, getting records with different record lengths written to it?

I'm glad to hear you got it resolved. What was the issue, in case others later on have similar problems?

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your reply.....The issue was with space not available in Vol Serial and hence unable to write all the records.

Thanks once again for the help you provided.
