I have an input file (VB file of size 425).
purpose is to convert the input file to output FB ( length 425) file.

I need the JCL for the mentioned purpose using SYNCSORT.

If the output must be 425, then you can OUTREC the RDW with the data fields (1,4,5,421) or you can pad the last 4 bytes with blanks (5,421,4X).
