abracadabra,

Allocate the FB dataset and use option 3.3 (move/copy utlity).

hi ,

You can convert a variable length record to a fixed length record by using CONVERT on the OUTFIL statement. You specify the OUTFIL with an OUTREC statement, the OUTREC will describe the format of the fixed length record.
