IMHO the prerequisite questions are "where is the STCK value now and where do you want the formatted value to end up?"
I read the OP's question as implying that the answer to "now?" is "in the records of some file" and the answer to "end up?" is "in the records of a file or SYSOUT." In that case I would think that a DFSORT-based approach makes sense. If the answers to both questions are "in memory inside an executing HLASM program" then STCKCONV makes sense. If the information is in files then STCKCONV implies writing a custom HLASM program to produce the desired results.
