I have never tinkered with spooled files to stream files, but here's a quick
program that should generate all the characters in your CCSID except x'00':

h/copy qrpglesrc,stdhspec                              
h bnddir('QC2LE')                                      
 * dbgview(*list)                                      
                                                       
fQSysPrt   O    F  132        Printer OflInd(*InOF)    
                                                       
d prtHex          s              2                     
                                                       
d                 ds

c                   for       dsNum = 1 to 255         
                                                       
c                   callp     H2C(%addr(prtHex):

c                   endfor                       
                                                 
c                   eval      *InLR=*On
