Answer / ravi
For Variable length file(VB) first 4 characters are used to
store the length of each record. So if your record contains
4080 then actual length is 4080 + 4 = 4084.
So to resolve abend --- increase record length to 4084.

And in addition to Ravi's answer you also have to mention
file as variable while defining the file.
