Kunal,
RECORDSIZE(average maximum)] - specifies the average and maximum lengths, in bytes, of the records. Average and maximum can be any integer value between 1 and 32,761, expressed in decimal (n), hexadecimal (X'n'), or binary (B'n') form. When you specify the RECORDS parameter, you must also specify RECORDSIZE; otherwise, you cannot specify RECORDSIZE
The same is explained here in this manual. Look up the chapter for DEFINE CLUSTER

to ICF catalogs, VSAM catalog entries to ICF catalog entries
o Alter the attributes of a catalog or data set

Sumit,
Since you are a new member I am going to explain once again. As Ravi mentioned earlier in his post, you can search the utilities forum for "vsam" you will find many examples.
If you don't find an example which suits your requirement then please post detailed information(LRECL, RECFM & compare field lengths along with sample input and output), we will try to help you find a solution.
Please remember that this board isn't a post office to send out mails with free shipping
