Hi,
This jcl will convert a file of format variable to fixed.
//STEP0010 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=input file,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT1 DD DSN=FV99T.TEST2,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),LRECL=50,
// RECFM=FB
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT1,VTOF,
OUTREC=(1:1,50)
END
/*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//
Please try this....

keep the JCL as it is, and use the below sysin (make necessary changes)
SYSIN :
INREC FIELDS=(01:01,06,
07:4Z,
88:2620,1)
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(01:07,82),CONVERT
END

You can also use other IBM utility as IEBGENER to do the same.
Code:
//STEP010I EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
GENERATE MAXFLDS=1
RECORD FIELD=(350,1,,1)
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=myVBinput
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=350,BLKSIZE=3500),
// DSN=myFBoutput
