Hello,

i want to convert a VB block file(133) to FB(133). I was thinking of reading the length of each record in VB block file and then inserting blank spaces to make it a FB. Is this approach correct?

A simple read/write in application code, even easier with either sort product....
Which would be your choice?

This is the simple way of doing it using a SORT:
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL VTOF,
OUTREC=(1:5,133) - first 4 bytes in VB will have the dataset information.
