Squashing VB records into FB
Hi, Is there a native z/OS utility that would take in a file of the following VB format (for example): First VB record = |rdw1|record1-40 bytes| Next VB record = |rdw2|record2-200 bytes| Last VB record = |rdw3|record3-10 bytes| and output a file in the following FB LRECL=80 format: First FB record = |rdw1|record1-40bytes|rdw2|record2-(1st 32bytes)| Next FB record = |record2-(bytes 33-112)| Next FB record = |record2- (bytes 113-192)| Last FB record = |record2- (bytes 193-200)|rdw3|record3-10 bytes|padding to 80 char| In other words, squash the VB records with their RDW fields into spanned FB records of a given length.

Re: Squashing VB records into FB
Does the following come close? Use IEBGENER to unblock the data. Now each record has a BDW and RDW. FTP the unblocked data in binary to a unix or windows system that will treat the data as a stream. Override the DCB so that it is treated as RECFM=U (so that the BDW and RDW survive intact). FTP the data back to z/OS in binary specifying RECFM=FB and LRECL=274 (250 data bytes in each three record set plus 24 bytes for the three BDW/RDW pairs). Use DFSORT to split each FB record to four new LRECL=80 FB records. First is bytes 5 through 48 and bytes 53 through 88. Second is bytes 89 through 168. Third is bytes 169 through 248. Fourth is bytes 249 through 256 and bytes 261 through 274 and 58 bytes of padding. Frank will probably chime in with a way to do it all at once using only DFSORT. -Original Message- From: Sproull, George CTR DISA GS4B14 Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 8:23 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Squashing VB records into FB Hi, Is there a native z/OS utility that would take in a file of the following VB format (for example): First VB record = |rdw1|record1-40 bytes| Next VB record = |rdw2|record2-200 bytes| Last VB record = |rdw3|record3-10 bytes| and output a file in the following FB LRECL=80 format: First FB record = |rdw1|record1-40bytes|rdw2|record2-(1st 32bytes)| Next FB record = |record2-(bytes 33-112)| Next FB record = |record2- (bytes 113-192)| Last FB record = |record2- (bytes 193-200)|rdw3|record3-10 bytes|padding to 80 char| In other words, squash the VB records with their RDW fields into spanned FB records of a given length. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Squashing VB records into FB
Hello, you may have a look for the following program, which is a part of SMP/E (and therefore available on any system): GIMDTS: Data transformation service routine it transforms VB files (and some other) to FB=80 files. The only problem might be the retransformation, which normally is done by SMP/E itself, but perhaps with some examples one could find the logic behind the transformation and build an own retransformation program.

Re: Squashing VB records into FB
To "squash" a dataset into a dataset with LRECL=80, RECFM=FB, BLKSIZE=2120 use the TSO TRANSMIT (a.k.a. XMIT) command with the OUTDSN keyword. Instead of actually transmitting the file somewhere else, it will put the output into the dataset named in the OUTDSN keyword with those attributes. To restore the file to it's original format, use the RECEIVE command with INDSN. You name the "squashed" dataset in the INDSN and receive it from there as you would a normal RECEIVE. The DCB attributes will be taken from the INDSN, but you may need to specify SPACE for the received dataset if the defaults aren't enough. --Roger -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Squashing VB records into FB
Thanks John & all who responded, This does exactly what I needed. The TSO XMIT was a good idea too, but I think it put some extra control junk on the front of the file. The freeware package would have been my next try, but I may not have been permitted to use that. I agree that the best solution would be to write something, but this is kind of a proof-of-concept thing so the FTP to myself will at least give me the right format to start.
