Hi,
I have a VB file LRECL 5014 which I need to limit to an LRECL of 256. Most of the records are less than 256 but some aren't. The output file needs to be VB.

I need to find lines that are longer than 256 and split them up into 256 chunks with an intervening line with something like 'SPLIT LINE' on it so I can tell which lines have been split

I have got this far
Code:
//SRTNVAS  EXEC PGM=SORT                         
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                           
//SORTIN   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&URTHLQ..TEST.IN     
//SORTOUT  DD  DISP=(SHR),                       
//         DSN=&URTHLQ..TEST.OUT.TXT,             
//         RECFM=VB,SPACE=(TRK,(2,1)),UNIT=SYSDA 
//SYSIN    DD  *                                 
  OPTION COPY                                     
  OUTFIL IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,GT,200),           
          BUILD=(1,4,5,200,/))                   
/*         

but for the new line I am running into an error of missing the RDW
and I am not sure of the best method of breaking up the whole 5014.
Any help much appreciated

RDW is in position 1-4. You are using slash operator '/' to split records. So, the new record after '/' should start with 1,4 or 1,n for a VB.

I think this is why you are getting RDW Missing error.
