Can we copy a sequential file to a VSAM file ? If yes, What
will happen of the size of the sequential file is bigger
than that of the VSAM file?

Answer Posted / kishore

If you give the RECFM=FB, then you can give the same record
length of that VSAM file.
If it VB, you should give LRECL is 4 + LRECL of VSAM file.

You can use, IDCAMS or IEBGENER for copy
