Hi,
I am trying to use joinkeys application where both the input files are FB with LRECL=50.
and I have defined SORTOUT LRECL as 50, RECFM=FB
In maintask sysout it gives below msg,
ICE419I 0 JOINED RECORDS: TYPE=V, LENGTH=54
ICE201I G RECORD TYPE IS V - DATA STARTS IN POSITION 5.
I am wondering why output is created as record type V when both input files are record type F and I havnt mentioned any intentional conversion..
Below is SYSOUT and JNFmsg.

Escapa,
I guess you overlooked the documentation.
A REFORMAT statement can always be used for a JOINKEYS application, and is required unless a JOIN statement with the ONLY operand is specified.
JOIN UNPAIRED,ONLY
The joined records will be variable-length. If the F1 records are fixed-length, each unpaired F1 record will be variable-length. with an RDW followed by the original F1 record. If the F1 records are variable-length, each unpaired F1 record will be the original F1 record. If the F2 records are fixed-length, each unpaired F2 record will be variable-length with an RDW followed by the original F2 record. If the F2 records are variable-length, each unpaired F2 record will be the original F2 record.
ICE043A 9 INVALID DATA SET ATTRIBUTES: SORTOUT RECFM - REASON CODE IS 13
I guess you hard coded the DCB parms for the sortout in JCL
Here is the explanation of ICE043A with reason code 13
Code:
13 The record format is variable length and the OUTFIL output data set has a fixed length record format, or OUTFIL parameter FTOV or VLFILL is specified and the OUTFIL output data set has a fixed length record format. Examples: SORTIN has RECFM=VB, OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1 is specified, and OUT1 has RECFM=FB. SORTIN has RECFM=FB, OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,FTOV is specified and OUT2 has RECFM=F. SORTIN has RECFM=VB, OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT3, VLFILL=C'*',BUILD=(70) is specified and OUT3 has RECFM=FB.

Escapa,
I looked over your job once again and I am not sure as to why you need JNF1CNTL and JNF2CNTL to increase the length of the input to 50 bytes. You can use the ? Indicator to distinguish the records. check out this example
Code:
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//INA DD *
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - NO MATCH SHOULD BE IN OUTPUT
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB - MATCH SHOULD BE DROPPED
//INB DD *
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB - MATCH SHOULD BE DROPPED
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD - NO MATCH SHOULD BE IN OUTPUT
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
JOINKEYS F1=INA,FIELDS=(1,24,A)
JOINKEYS F2=INB,FIELDS=(1,24,A)
JOIN UNPAIRED,ONLY
REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,24,?,F2:1,24)
