I think DFSORT can do this.. but I don't see it in the manual.. or I am missing it. I want to take an input file lrecl=11 and output lrecl=15
so that the records are joined.

The input records

record 1: 123 456 789
record 2: abc def ghi
record 3: jkl mnop qr

would become output records like..

record 1: 123 456 789 abc
record 2: def ghi jkl qr

The way I'd probably do it is to make sure the input file had a blocksize of a multiple of 165 (copy it to one such, if necessary). Then read it specifying LRECL=15. As long as you know you'll have a multiple of 15 bytes in the total file, this should work. You could use DFSORT, IEBGENER, or any program that uses QSAM.
