From what's been written, I presume that the carriage control that
VSE uses would be preserved if it existed. Using // STDOPT LINES=
is a way to influence VSE's production of carriage control
characters. However, printouts can be produced in VSE in two
different ways - via SYSLST (system logical unit) or a numbered SYS
(e.g., SYS010 - program logical unit). STDOPT affects only SYSLST
output. To complicate matters even further, if your program is a
COBOL program and is using DISPLAY (UPON SYSLST) then there will be
no page breaks, regardless of STDOPT LINES. Ordinarily reports
aren't written with DISPLAY, but it has been done.
To put it another way, if your program is using a program logical
unit (a numbered SYS), STDOPT LINES= won't help. The only way you
can control the page breaks from the VSE side is from within your program.

Hi Shimon,
You've tried using
// STDOPT LINES=nn
in your job to change the default number of lines on the page for your job?
