Resolution

Use a DESTID statement to force the value of the FCB and CHARS assigned to a file:

DESTID QDEST=PRT2,FFCB=xxxx,FCHARS=xxxx

Another option is to modify the JCL of the job that is creating the sysout:

//RPT     OUTPUT DEST=PRT2,FCB=xxx,CHARS=yyyy 
...

//SYSUT2  DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=*.RPT

CHARS is a range from CR00 to CR29. For example:

DESTID QDEST=PRT2,FFCB=8,FCHARS=CR12
