You didn't say if this was for a small file, or if you only need to do it once, but under those conditions you might try this.
Run IEBPTPCH on the dataset using just ' PRINT TYPORG=PS,TOTCONV=XE' for printing in hex, and allocate SYSUT2 to an output dataset that you can later edit with ISPF. IEBPTPCH will put two asterisks at the end of each printed block. In ISPF edit on the output dataset, exclude all, find all 'page', del all nx, find all **. Then, if it is practical, eyeball what's left between "Top of Data" and "Bottom of Data" to see if the counts in 'Line(s) not Displayed' are all the same. Wherever they are different, there is a short block. I'm guessing.
