Introduction
The following is a sample program for handling Variable Length
Sequential file.
This program demonstrates how to convert a Fixed Length Sequential
file to a Variable Length Sequential File. The check points in the
program are highlighted. Please make a note of these. After the
program, Please check the JCL which runs the program.

000920* DESCRIPTION : THIS PROGRAM DEMONSTRATES THE BASIC HANDLING OF *00092099
000930* VARIABLE LENGTH OUTPUT FILE. *00093099
000940* IN THIS PROGRAM WE HAVE A INPUT FILE INPUTFL *00094099
000950* WHICH IS OF FB TYPE AND THE OUTPUT FILE IS OF *00095099
000960* VB TYPE. BOTH ARE SEQUENTIAL FILES. OUR INTENTION*00096099
000970* IS TO TAKE ONE RECORD AT A TIME FROM THE INPUT *00097099
000980* FILE, REMOVE THE TRAILING SPACES FROM THE RECORD *00098099
000990* AND WRITING IT INTO THE OUTPUT FILE. THIS PROCESS*00099099
001000* WILL BE REPEATED FOR ALL THE RECORD OF THE INPUT *00100099
001100* FILE. AT THE END OF THE PROCESS WE WILL HAVE ONE *00110099
001200* VARIABLE LENFTH OUTPUT FILE, WHICH WILL HAVE THE *00120099
001300* SAME RECORD AS THE INPUT FILE. *00130099

JCL snippet for the input output files:

002500 //*INPUT FILE

002600 //INPUTFL DD DSN=TTOI.DASGUPS.WORKAREA.INPUTFL,DISP=SHR
002700 //*OUTPUT FILE
002800 //OUTPUTFL DD DSN=TTOI.DASGUPS.WORKAREA.OUTPUTFL,
002900 // DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE),
003000 // RECFM=VB,LRECL=1004,BLKSIZE=0

Check that while giving the LRECL for the output file we are giving
1004. But the program says the max length of the Variable Length
Output file can be 1000 only.

The reason for this is while creating the file out of this 1004 bytes, 4
bytes will be allocated for the length of the record. So (1000+4) =
1004 this is how the length of the output file is determined.
