The default buffer size on a diag 8 call (which is what EXECIO does for you) is 8K. So, your execio is only getting 8K of the output. You can specify a longer buffer by using the BUFFER option of EXECIO. You can either just specify a big buffer that will always hold the output for the number of spool files you typically have on your system, or you can query the number using CP Q FILES and calculate the buffer size you need.
Or, switch to using CMS pipelines. It automatically increases the diag 8 buffer size for a CP query command to fit all the command output. The equivalent pipeline to put the lines in the stack would be 'PIPE cp QUERY RDR ALL | stack' - but of course you can do some or all of your processing using other pipeline stages.
