I am happy to report that just providing TYPE=V on the JOINKEYS statement for
the VSAM file worked and treated the VSAM file as variable-length. Thank you
again!

Thanks Alan, I will give that a try later today when I get back to work from
other appointments.

Add a TYPE=V parameter to the JOINKEYS statement for the VSAM file. It might
also need a RECFM=V on the SORTJNFx DD for the VSAM file.

Subject: SYNCSORT question: How to treat variable length
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
