I can't think of a practical way to do this with DFSORT's built-in functions. If the input length and output length were multiples of each other (e.g. 40 to 60), I think I could come up with a reasonable way to do it using SPLICE, but for 80 to 103, that method wouldn't work well. Perhaps writing your own E15 or E35 exit, as somebody else suggested, would be the best way to proceed.
