Convert CLIST library from FB VB

nickciancio · Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:55 pm

Hello,

I am trying to use SORT to copy all the members of a FB CLIST library LRECL=80 to a VB CLIST library LRECL=255. Most of the members in the input (FB) library have sequence numbers in columns 73-80 and I wish to preserve them in columns 1-8 of the output (VB) library.

Can this be done with SORT ? If so sample JCL would be great.

Regards Nick

DFSORT could do what you want with each member in a separate pass.

DFSORT only processes one member at a time and you have to tell it the member name, i.e. dsn=pds(member).

So if you're looking for a utility that will automatically copy and reformat every member of a PDS, DFSORT isn't it.

a rexx script or a clist invoking the library commands would be the answer.
