You can add a DFSORT step to remove the ASA character and create a FB 
recfm file. ex:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=IEBPTPCH 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSUT1   DD DSN=Your Input PDS, 
//            DISP=SHR 
//SYSUT2   DD DSN=&&TEMP, 
//            DISP=(,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA, 
//            SPACE=(CYL,(60,30),RLSE) 
//SYSIN    DD * 
  PUNCH TYPORG=PO 
//* 
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=SORT 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=* 
//SORTIN   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&&TEMP 
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=Your PDS as sequential file,
//            DISP=(,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA,RECFM=FB, 
//            SPACE=(CYL,(60,30),RLSE) 
//SYSIN    DD *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC BUILD=(2,80)
//*
