This should have given you a clue. your Input file has short records. Try this job

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC  PGM=IDCAMS                       
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                             
//IN       DD DSN=your input 256 vb file,
//            DISP=SHR         
//OUT      DD DSN=your output 23086 vb file,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                       
//            UNIT=SYSDA,                         
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE),             
//            DCB=(LRECL=23086,RECFM=VB,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN    DD *                                   
  REPRO IFILE(IN) OFILE(OUT) REPLACE               
/*


Hope this helps...

Cheers

What???? The LRECL on the file need only describe the LARGEST possible record. The beauty of a VB file is that the records don't HAVE to be any certain length or filled with blank spaces! Run a copy and give the output file an LRECL=23086 but some records may be shorter. Your program simply needs to identify each field and it's length.

If you must continue, your OUTREC syntax may be wrong. Msg WER237I says O/P record is only 22780, not 22780 padded onto 256.
