re: (13 lines) 
The problem you describe is a longstanding one with SORT.  It occurs if
the job stream file has a record length longer than the default record
length of the device to which the $stdlist is directed (OUTCLASS).

Besides the workaround you used (redirecting SORT's output to $NULL or a
file with a long record length), the only other one is to make the
record length of the stream file shorter.  For example, if OUTCLASS is
LP which is a 132 byte device, then an 80 byte stream file works fine.
