Oops I noticed that you need both second and third qualifier. use the 
following JCL


//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=* 
//SORTIN   DD * 
FIRST.SECOND.THIRD 
SYS1.PARMLIB 
SYS2.NPLEX1.FILE.NODE4 
IBM.MAIN.LIST.PARSE.EXAMPLE 
SYS1.GDG.CONLEY.TEST.G0005V00 
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSIN    DD * 
  OPTION COPY 
  INREC PARSE=(%=(ENDBEFR=C'.'), 
               %01=(ENDBEFR=C'.',ENDBEFR=C' ',REPEAT=2,FIXLEN=8)), 
        BUILD=(%01,%02) 
 
  OUTFIL OMIT=(1,8,CH,EQ,C' '), 
  BUILD=(1,16,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,MID=C'.',LENGTH=17)) 
//* 

The output of this JCL is 

SECOND.THIRD 
PARMLIB 
NPLEX1.FILE 
MAIN.LIST 
GDG.CONLEY
