How to Copy Vraiable length file?

Post by mf-wien » Fri Nov 04, 2016 3:13 pm

Hi,
I have to copy a VB to a new VB file but:
I want to reduce the record length from 680 to 670.
The "File Length" will not change (=3000 + 4 bytes for Length)

I know that with DFSORT can handle this but I dont know the exact script for this.

Can anybody kelp me? Thanks!

There is no concept called file length, only record length.
