Dewor,
Superk has it right. However, with DFSORT, you don't really need VLFILL=X'40' since it's used automatically with CONVERT (or the more user friendly alias VTOF).
FYI, "OUTREC FIELD OUTSIDE RANGE" is a Syncsort message (WERxxxA), so you're using Syncsort/SYNCTOOL, not DFSORT/ICETOOL.
DFSORT/ICETOOL has ICExxxs messages.
I know the conversion value from a vb to fb is "value-4" but I want to do a 500 fb dataset without any use of other sort.. Just with unload utility.
I want to create a dataset which contains table and a filler, not only the occurence of the table. The copy is 454 but I wan to resize in 500 fb without any statement. Do you think is it possible??
