I have to ask, WHY? Unless you really meant RECFM=FBS.
No access method I know of cares about short blocks in the middle of the file. They just deal with it. If you really don't want any short blocks, use IEBGENER or either of the sort products to copy it to a new file. That would take no more time then reading the file to find the short blocks.

We don't have DITTO (IBM File Manager), and I haven't found a way with File-Aid yet.
