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

Here is an example of some of the output (I wonder if
this really hasn't been updated since Jan 1981):

          HISTOGRM     VERSION 4  JAN. 1981
HIS024I  LRECL      255   BLKSIZE    27998   RECFM VB
HIS007I  NUMBER OF BLOCKS..............                  1
HIS008I  TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL BLOCKS....                 39
HIS009I  AVERAGE BLOCK LENGTH..........                 39


HIS010I  NUMBER OF RECORDS.............                  5
HIS011I  TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL RECORDS...                 35
HIS012I  AVERAGE RECORD LENGTH.........                  7
HIS016I  KEY LENGTH....................                 20
HIS015I  AVERAGE SPACE PER RECORD - L6.                 20
HIS014I  RECOMMENDED SEG. SIZE - L7....                 20
HIS017I  LINE WIDTH....................                 20
HIS018I  LONGEST RECORD................                  9
HIS019I  SHORTEST RECORD...............                  5
HIS023I  RECORDS TOO SHORT.............                  5
HIS020I  DEVICE TYPE...................               3390

Mark,

I had forgotten about histogram (from Syncsort) thanks for reminding me about the nice feature.
