Answer / sathya
yes we can do using sort utility,
//SORTTA EXEC
PGM=SORT
//SYSIN DD *
SORT
FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:5,4096),CONVERT
/*
//SORTIN DD DSN=…,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=…
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*
//
The CONVERT control statement is used to convert the
File format from VB to FB.

Answer / ds
Yes. using IEBGENER utility we can copy this. But this is
not advisable until there's a specific requirement.
FB to VB
--------
FB rec length is X
VB rec length should be X+4
VB to FB
--------
VB rec length is X (Length indicated in JCL)
FB rec length is X-4
Note: But here in second case lot disk space will be wasted.
Without the idea of requirement and system design, one
can't say anything.
Thanks, DS.

Use syncsort utility.
for FB to VB
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL BUILD=(5,1000),FTOV,VLTRIM=X'40'
simililarly for Vb to FB
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:5,4034),CONVERT

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
In how ways you can pass the data from Jcl to cobol ?
