Dears,
I tried the below JCL.
The input file is VB but its maximum record length could be various,
because the input file is generated by vendor tool.
| Code: |
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=input_file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=out_file,UNIT=3390,RECFM=FB,LRECL=5000,
// DISP=(,CATLG,CATLG),SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,
VTOF,OUTREC=(5,5004),VLFILL=C' '
|
but it doesn't work as following...
| Code: |
ICE201I 0 RECORD TYPE IS V - DATA STARTS IN POSITION 5
ICE027A 9 END OF SORTOUT FIELD BEYOND MAXIMUM RECORD LENGTH
ICE052I 3 END OF DFSORT

What exactly are you trying to achieve ? and why ?
Surely the file has the correct attributes otherwise it would not have been created. |

nmc,
Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=input_file (VB/390)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=out_file,UNIT=3390, (FB/5000)
// DISP=(,CATLG,CATLG),SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL VTOF,BUILD=(5,386,5000:X)
/*

Mr. Yaeger's solution worked on z/OS DFSORT V1R5 !!
I think the previous error is a matter of a dfsort version or applied ptf.
One last question !!
I want to make an output file(FB, LRECL=5000) from an input file(VB, LRECL=don't know cause not always the same but below 5000) using DFSORT/ICETOOL. |

That error indicates you are missing some very old PTFs on DFSORT R14 - BUILD has been available since Dec, 2004.
If you want to create an FB/5000 output file from a VB input file, just use:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL VTOF,BUILD=(5,m,5000:X)
|
where m = LRECL-4 for whatever the input LRECL is. |
