Could it be that you REWRITE with a different record

happening.
I'd check the actual number of blocks and blocksizes
before and after. (Syncsort comes with a histogram program
that does that, nicely.) Even though the records are not
changing lengths, it's possible that COBOL has problems
rewriting VB records, even though PL/1 doesn't.
