SYNCSORT question: How to treat variable length KSDS as variable length input to SORT JOINKEYS

I have two files, one a flat file with RECFM=VB,LRECL=8004, one a VSAM KSDS with RECORDSIZE(3000 26000) denoting variable length records for that KSDS. However, when using that VSAM file as one side of a JOINKEYS operation, SYNCSORT claims the KSDS is RECFM=F: WER482I JNF2 STATISTICS WER483B
