I am processing a VB input file with YYYYMMDD dates that I need to use to 
create a set of JCL to execute an application process for each unique date.  
SYNCSORT is giving me "SORTOUT  HAS INCOMPATIBLE LRECL" but i do not understand 
why.

I am trying to use the OUTFIL CONVERT parameter to generate RECFM=FB, LRECL=80 
output from the VB input file.

Doesn't the VLFILL parameter default provide the trailing spaces needed for 
each FB output record?  Or do I have to provide EXACTLY 80 output bytes for 
each output record in the OUTREC?

Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Here is the SYNCSORT JCL and listing output with some anonymization:

//GETDATES EXEC PGM=SORT,REGION=250M,
//             PARM='EQUALS,MSGDD=SORTLIST,VLTEST=2,VLTESTI=2'
//SORTLIST DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=TSOUSER.INPUT.VBFILE
//SORTOUT  DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG),
//            DSN=TSOUSER.OUTPUT.FBFILE,
//            UNIT=TEST,SPACE=(CYL,(0010,0010),RLSE),
//            DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0,BUFNO=31
