Subject: Converting Variable block file to Fixed block file
Posted: Tue May 16, 2017 2:20 pm (GMT 5.5)
Hi,
Iam trying to convert Variable block file(Record length-32750) to Fixed block file(Record length=80).I used the following Build statement,
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL VTOF,BUILD=(5,80,/,85,80,/,165,80,/,245,80,/,325,80,/,
405,80,/,485,80,/,565,80,/,645,80,/,725,80,/,805,80,/,885,80,/,
965,80,/,1045,80,/,1125,80,/,1205,80,/,1285,80,/,1365,80,/,
.
.
.
.
32645,80,/,32725,25) .The build statement I mentioned here is working fine,but as each time the position upto which data exists in input VB file differs, during VB to FB conversion,the positions which are not having data are getting copied as spaces into output FB file.Please suggest me a way to get rid of spaces.Iam using ICEMAN for this.
