1 VARIABLE_$
    VARIABLE invokes the Westat variable length record utility.  This utility
  will copy any file, fixed length or variable, to a newly created variable
  length record file, stripping all trailing blanks.
    The utility will prompt for the input file name, the name of the variable
  length record file to be created, and the number of records to be copied.
    If either the input file or the output file is on tape, the tape must be
  allocated and mounted. (See HELP ALLOCATE and HELP MOUNT.)  The output file
  cannot be written to a tape that is mounted foriegn.

  Example:

  $ ALLOCATE MTA1:
    _MTA1: ALLOCATED
  $ MOUNT MTA1: LABEL
  %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, LABEL mounted on _MTA1:
  $ VARIABLE
