most of the time Format=U files are load modules. why do you want to modify, it will be waste of space for FB file?
However, IDCAMS REPRO should work.

Show us the error and JCL. what is output of below piece, try?
| Code: |
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,REGION=6M
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TYPE=U file
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG),DSN=TYPE=V file,
// DCB=(DSORG=PS,RECFM=V,BLKSIZE=27998),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)) |

Hi Rohit ,
U file is a log file it doesn't have loads in it,I am very well aware that lot of space would be wasted but I am ok with it..
Right now ,I am out of office so do not have access to Mainframes.
I tried same code which you have mentioned and I got below error
IEB311I CONFLICTING DCB PARAMETERS
Can U file be converted into FB and then FB can be changed to VB ..would it be easy?
Please suggest!! |

yes I tried...but didn't work out..
I will try again tomorrow.. Do we require to give BLKSIZE..?
I think it should work without giving it?
Tomorrow, I will share the errors encountered .
Rohit ,Thanks for taking efforts and helping me out .

Just a couple of thoughts -
Set the LRECL of the V format data set to the input BLKSIZE + 4. The BLKSIZE of a U format data set defines the size of the largest possible record. The LRECL of a V format data set defines the largest possible record. The +4 fudge factor is the size of the RDW (Record Descriptor Word) all V format logical records must have.
Do we require to give BLKSIZE? Well, maybe. You want to provide a BLKSIZE if the LRECL is greater than System determined BLKSIZE, which will most likely be 27998. |
