Elardus, There are couple of ways to handle. You can pad the 712 byte with a SPACE. That would allow CSVARDATA contents as is if a record happens to have all the 550 bytes //VLSHCNTL DD * OPTION COPY INREC OVERLAY=(712:X) /* You can INCLUDE records with a minimum length of 711. Since the input is a VB file you can validate the RDW and INCLUDE those Records //VLSHCNTL DD * OPTION COPY,VLSCMP INCLUDE COND=(1,2,BI,GE,711) /* Further if you have any questions please let me know Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
