I may logon to z/OS again to try, but I think that we have a good clue when the member (without statistics) would generate empty output when I do EXECIO *, but same member would generate the correct output when I use EXECIO input.0. There are generally speaking no empty lines in the members, especially, not in the first line!
Gil is correct to point that the members where not loaded to the library with ISPF. I used either IEBUPDTE or, for libraries with RECRM=VB, some REXX utility that I wrote. However, I would emphasize again, when I use EXECIO input.0 there is no problem. In essence, I have a solution for my problem, but I am curious to know where did the problem come from.
