I will repost my previous post because I believe it has your answer. The first 4 bytes are the length of the variable length record. To remove them use the following.
I think you want OUTREC=(1:5,108).
If you do not need to sort the file SORT FIELDS=COPY will work fine in place of SORT FIELDS=COPY.
Note that with length 108 you are still cutting off byte 109. Check to see if this contains needed data. |

I think I cannot make myself clear to you Guru's.
My question is while we use the IBM Utility DSNUTILB, do we get a junk value in the first two columns of the generated dataset?
After following the method you all suggested, I was able to generate the file without the junk characters. |

Why do You ask a question which You already replied by Yourself,
the original program, AS YOU SAID, creates a VB ( variable blocked ) dataset
what You consider JUNK ( garbage/useless things) is the most important component of VB organization...
