Dear Venu,
You can use DFSORT to change a fixed length format file to variable length format.

| A new FTOV option of OUTFIL allows you to convert fixed-length input records (for example, FB) to variable-length output records (for example, VB). A new VTOF option of OUTFIL (an alias for CONVERT) allows you to convert variable-length input records (for example, VB) to fixed-length output records (for example, FB). |

You can access all of the DFSORT books and papers online from:
Use [URL] BBCode for External Links
If you're not familiar with DFSORT or DFSORT's ICETOOL utility, I'd suggest reading through "DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent utility, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL, and DFSORT Symbols. Youcan access "DFSORT: Getting Started" from the link above.
For even more information on DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, visit the DFSORT website at:
