You can use a DFSORT job like this to do what you asked for:

SORTIN : RECFM=FB ; LRECL= 80; BLKSIZE= 80
SORTOUT RECFM INCOMPATIBLE WITH REPORT WRITING
SORTOUT : RECFM=FB ; LRECL= 132; BLKSIZE= 27984
SORTOUT HAS INCOMPATIBLE LRECL

Those are the messages that the sistem gives me back.

1. can I change the LRECL ?
2. Can I force the output lenght in 132???

Frank's solution is sample JOB and builds an o/p file with 61 lrecl, Since the example you had shown was 61 Bytes in length, you can change the 61X in BUILD statement to 132:X. This would solve your problem.

miosne,

The messages you received indicate you're using Syncsort, not DFSORT.
I'm a DFSORT developer. DFSORT and Syncsort are competitive products. I'm happy to answer questions on DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, but I don't answer questions on Syncsort.
