With DFSORT I want to complete the end of a record with spaces without knowing the length of the record.
For example from a file of LRECL=80 to a file of LRECL=160
By default DFSORT add data with low value.

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC OVERLAY=(80:6X) <== Is it possible to specify the rest of the
record and not a value like Here : 6

Regards

Code:
 OUTREC OVERLAY=(160:X)


Why not just to try, and to verify the result???!!!

as I wanted a variable value I implemented this jcl :

// EXPORT SYMLIST=*
// SET LNG=120
//MYLOG DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=(EXECSYS,MYLOG)
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC OVERLAY=(&LNG:X)

And it's OK

Thanks
