Ancient method - may or may not be suitable for what you're doing: Step 1: IEBGENER the 80 character records into a dataset with attributes of LRECL=80 BLKSIZE=(8240 or 16480 or 24720)
Step 2: IEBGENER using the same file as input, coding LRECL=103 and the same BLKSIZE you used. IEBGENER will copy the LRECL from input, or you can code it if you want. This works because 8240, 16480, or 24720 are all multiples of 80 * 103. You may need to add some records to the end of the original dataset to make the last block come out "even" - I can't remember if I needed to do that or not.
