#1: convert VB to FB ... a variation Author: tidda, Location: IndiaPosted: Mon Dec 16, 2002 4:46 pm here is my problem. I have to convert a VB file to FB file. If the record length is shorter than the lrecl, then pad the remaining of the record with a character, say '*'. I went to the dfsort tricks webpage and tried the option 'vfill' with 'outrec'. These don't work with syncsort. is there a way out with syncsort ?
thanks,
tidda
