I tried to copy a VB/125 file to a VB/140 file using IEBGENER and got a RC=12: DATA SET UTILITY - GENERATE IEB352I WARNING: ONE OR MORE OF THE OUTPUT DCB PARMS COPIED FROM INPUT IEB311I CONFLICTING DCB PARAMETERS I tried the same thing with DFSORT's ICEGENER and got a RC=0. The records in the VB/140 output data set had the same record lengths as the records in the VB/125 input data set. That's what I'd expect given that the record lengths are less than the maximum LRECL and no reformatting is being done.
