Output file should have LRECL = 24 and RECFM = VB

Don't you have a concern about data truncation?

I want first 24 bytes only.

Data truncation will not be a problem in my program

Have you read ANY documentation or searched the forums for examples.

There are many examples on the forum which you could so easily find.

Take a look through the DFSORT forum and look see. There are so many examples of only selecting various fields from a record.

I assume that you have SYNCSORT as you have posted in the JCL forum, but many of the solutions are the same or very similar.

Hi,

Suggest you post

1. Sample input
2. Expected output
3. JCL used
4. If there was any abend - complete diagnostic information.

If I go with the Subject title, as your description doesn't provides much, the answer is Yes - Syncsort Copy different record length format files.
