I love this program.  So retro.  Without the magic handshake on SYSIN, 
SYSUT1 gets 013-18.  If SYSUT1 is RECFM=F file you get:

HIS004A  INVALID DCB OR ACB DATA

And what exactly is a "record too short"?  What does "key length" mean on 
a flat file?

Since you have SYNCSORT, will HISTOGRM work?  I don't think I've run it in 
15 years, but I just tried and it looks like it is what you want.  Here 
was my test JCL:

//STEP01   EXEC  PGM=HISTOGRM
//*STEPLIB  DD  DSN=syncsort_linklib,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD  DSN=userid.TEST.VB,
//             DISP=SHR
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY,LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=80
//*SYSIN    DD  *
//* KEYL=2,DEVWK=3380,NOBLOCK,NOBIGSTP
