Hi, I am trying to convert a VB file to FB using CONVERT feature of sort but unsuccessful. My file LRECL is 133 and RECFM is VB and below is the sort job I am using....

Select all

//STEP0002 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTOUT DD DSN=THERESA.TEXT1,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=THERESA.TEXT,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL OUTREC=(5,133),CONVERT
/*

SYSOUT shows this error:

Select all

WER108I SORTIN : RECFM=VB ; LRECL= 133; BLKSIZE= 6233
WER230A SORTOUT OUTREC FIELD OUTSIDE RANGE

Please let me know where I am going wrong.

Thanks.

You need to subtract 4 from the OUTREC length because your are not including the RDW. If you want the LRECL to remain 133, then code something like this:

Select all

OUTFIL OUTREC=(5,129,133:X),CONVERT
