Crispin, our sample JCL for running EDGRRPTE is SAMPLIB member EDGJRPT. It contains //REPORT14 DD SYSOUT=*,RECFM=VBA for report14. This identifies the file as containing ANSI print control characters.
I suspect by sending to VM some additional char is inserted after EDGRRPTE has written the record to SYSOUT with the ASA print control character in position 1. Once you amend the DD statement to add RECFM, this should no longer happen.
