VLTRIM=X'FF' removes trailing X'FF' characters from the end of each variable-length record. For example, let's say you have 6-byte FB input records as follows (in hex):
Code:
C1C2C3FFFFFF
C1FFFFFFFFFF
C2C3FFFFFFFF
FTOV,VLTRIM=X'FF' would convert the FB records to VB records with the RDW and data (in hex) as follows:
Code:
00030000C1C2C3
00010000C1
00020000C2C3
