Hi,
DFSORT book says:
VTOF Specifies that variable-length OUTFIL input records are to be converted to fixed-length OUTFIL output records for this OUTFIL group. and
FTOV Specifies that fixed-length OUTFIL input records are to be converted to variable-length OUTFIL output records for this OUTFIL group.

Hi again,
You can also use other IBM utility as IEBGENER to do the same.
For more detail about this utility see this link:

You can also use other IBM utility as IEBGENER to do the same.
Code: Select all
//STEP010I EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
GENERATE MAXFLDS=1
RECORD FIELD=(350,1,,1)
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VBinput
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=350,BLKSIZE=3500),
// DSN=FBoutput
