What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file?
In the input records, I see
"string","string"...
So it looks like one or more quoted strings followed by periods to indicate some more characters. Right?
What characters do the periods represent - spaces? |

record length is 2250. RCFM is VB
Actually i dont want the spaces after the last ending double quote in each record.
The periods reprsent nulls.

Given this answer, I'm not sure if you have spaces (X'40') after the last " or nulls (X'00'), but I'll assume it's nulls.
Since these are VB records, I assume "remove" means to reduce the RDW length. So if you had a record with an RDW length 30 with 5 nulls after the last ", you'd want to reduce the RDW length to 25, essentially removing the nulls.
You can use this DFSORT job to do that.

//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL VLTRIM=X'00'
