Hi,
I have a requirement to convert a FB file to FBA format. Please let me know how we can do this using SYNCSORT.
LRECL of FB file = 30
LRECL of FBA file = 133
Also, is it neccessary that LRECL of FBA can be only 133 bytes?
Thanks! |

No, there is no such restriction. If it can be defined as FB, it can be defined as FBA. |

gprerna,
Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for. It puts a blank in positon 1 for the carriage control character, then copies the 30 input bytes and then blanks the rest of the record up to position 133.
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/30)
//SORTOUT DD RECFM=FBA,DSN=... output file (FBA/133)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(X,1,30,133:X)
/*

No, but 133 is the typical length of "regular" printed output. If you have a wider need or if you print landscape you may want a longer or shorter lrecl. |
