It's important to specify the operating system and file manager where your EBCDIC files are being written. The FAQ offers some general advice concerning writing to mainframe files, but without knowing your environment I can't know if it would be valid.
As a quick guess: allocate your destination file first, and send to it under the settings you will find in the FAQ. If my guess is correct, and you have a dataset catalog, this will ensure correct formatting of your data.

Hi Frankline,
Thanks for your reply.
Our OS is AIX. I have read through your FAQ. This is myfirst requirment related with mainframe so I find it difficult to understand.
I have tried setting Record type = variable and format = VB in sequential stage .
I don't have clue how to indicate the actual record length?
Can you please help me on that?

I'm glad you found your answer. I didn't reply again because I didn't know what to think of it.
