when you say convert, what exactly do you mean?
both IDCAMs REPRO
and DFSORT (probably syncsort, also)
can input an qsam (flat) file image, which is the same image as the vsam RECORD
and output/write to the VSAM file.
it would be a 3 step process:

it would be a 3 step process:
- define the vsam file - idcams
- create the qsam file
- use one of the utilites mentioned above to read the qsam and write to the vsam
