Pushpa, I created a PS with FBA and put some recs in and
ran the same above JCL. To me it worked. Have u checked
what error u r getting. Try the below stuff with SORT util.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=USERID.DATASET,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=USERID.DATASET,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=0

Use the dataset itself to get the required DCB attributes.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DUMMY,DCB=USERID.DATASET
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=USERID.DATASET,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

Answer / pushpa

Yes we can do it by using the IEBGENER utility.

I have a question here By using the IEBGENER Utility I was
able to do this only for PS with RECFM =VB , but its not
working for PS with RECFM = FBA.

Is there any specific reason for this.

Please Clarify.

Answer / garry

Try This :

//JOBCARD
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFRBR14
//DD1 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE)
May need to code DCB and SPACE parameter.
//DD2 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG)
