Currently we will sort the VB file to FB file.
The sort card like this:

OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,OUTREC=(1:1,143,32752:X)

We will sort LRECL to 32752. When I tested it with about 4666818 records, it takes hte job about 30 minutes.

Is there any other solution which can enhances the Job performance?

Thanks in advance.

What gives you the idea that the input is VB and the output is FB?
You are not sorting, you are copying, it cant go much faster than input/output speed.
Why would you wand to pad 150 bytes with blanks? What sort of requirement demands this kind of behavior?

I can't think your output would be FB.
You are supposed to use VTOF to convert VB to FB too.
