Hi ,
I want to copy a vsam file(which has same avg record length and max record length) to a vb sequential file.
This vsam file has been copied from another vb file.I am doing some processing in the vsam and then want to copy it to another vb file.
so while copying trailing spaces are being copied to the vb file .
But don't want those trailing spaces.
How to do this while copying from vsam to vb file? |

How do you verify that there are trailing spaces.
What do you use to copy the files.
Please show us examples. |

1st I copied from vb to vsam using sort with VTOF option in control card(when i am not using VTOF the job is abending showing in sysout that no RDW specified).
Then I am copying from vsam to another vb file using sort fields=copy. |

| VTOF converts the file from VB to FB. That could go a little way to explaining why you have the spaces at the end. |

You said you copied from VB to VSAM using VTOF; but VTOF as mentioned above is to convert from Variable To Fixed.
Can you tell what kind of "processing" you're doing here.
You can give a try adding this to your card to copy the file back to VB.

| OUTFIL FTOV,VLTRIM=C' ' |

VLTRIM Parameter (Optional)
The VLTRIM parameter defines a byte to be deleted from the end of a variable-length record. All prior occurrences of this byte will also be deleted until a byte that is not equal to the trim byte is found. The resulting records are decreased in record length. However, VLTRIM will not delete the first data byte, the ANSI carriage control character, or the Record Descriptor Word (RDW). |
shaktiprasad,
If you're still facing issues, post the requested info before we proceed any further. |
