I want to convert VSAM file to PS file. The record size of VSAM file is 60520. When i tried to convert this through JCL (using IDCAMS) by providing DCB parameter (LRECL=60520,RECFM=VB,BLKSIZE=0), it gives JCL error saying 'LRECL is too large'. I think it is because of LRECL should be max of 32768.
Can we do this through any programs or utility? How to convert VSAM of recordsize 60520 into PS File?
As per Z/OS, there is limitation of LRECL to 32K.
I have seen so may documents for this, all are mentioned this through IDCAMS but their record size was less. so there was no problem. But nowhere mentioned if the record size is bigger, then how to convert.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Thanks |

This looks very familiar.
Is this a recent double post?

Hi Bill O'Boyle
Yes, this is double post. By mistake i post this in Assembler section..But now thinking it may be useful in JCL. So thought of posting in JCL also.
Sorry for inconvenience. |

NO... is just doubly useless 
when designing the application somebody must certainly have researched
the consequences of using spanned records.
( looks like not uh? )
so You/Your organization will have to live with it, or redesign the whole shebang!
the only way out of it (as it is now) as already said in the other post
is to analyze the record structure and write a program to do a <logical> deblock/split of the records in chunks smaller than 32k
no <jcl> will complete the task You are trying to achieve |
