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.
