Receive "output" is stored in the SMPPTS (a PDS or PDSE). Receive input (SMPMCS) is FB/80/sdb.
<snip> //SMPPTFIN DD DSN=xxxxx.xxxxx.R14.SMPPTS, // DISP=SHR </snip> You have specified the SMPPTS (a PDS/PDSE) as sequential input. This means the "directory" of the PDS/PDSE is being read as a logical record. As we all know, the "logical record length" of a PDS directory entry is 256, not 80, hence your problem.
