As long as at least one of your JOINKEYS files is of variable-length records, then you can create a variable-length REFORMAT record.

On the other hand, even if both your files are variable-length records you don't have to create a variable-length REFORMAT records.

You create a variable-length REFORMAT record by including the RDW from one input file which contains variable-length records.

Code:
REFORMAT FIELDS=(F2:1,4,F1:5,80,F2:5)


You have to consider short records (they will be padded, you have control over with what) and may need a VLTRIM on some of the OUTFILs.
