Well, it depends on what you want the records in your VB data set to look like.
If you just want some test data to play with, you could use DFSORT to convert FB records to VB records, as discussed in the "FB to VB conversion" Smart DFSORT Trick at:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
TEST RECORD 01 AAA
TEST RECORD 02 BBBBBBB
TEST RECORD 03 CC
TEST RECORD 04 DDDDDDDDDD
/*
//SORTOUT DD DSN=userid.MYVB.IN,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(TRK,(5,5)),UNIT=SYSDA
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FTOV,VLTRIM=X'40'
/*
If you want something more specific, you need to tell us what you want. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)
