The A stands for ASA control character (printer control) Writing a report file to an FB file should not change it's RECFM - unless, perhaps, A is specified in the program or you are copying into the file using IEBGENER. If you look in the manual link above and search the appropriate manuakl for ASA you will get a description of A.

I think, you are using WRITE ADVANCING in your programs. Try compiling your programs with NOADV option. Or, just omit the WRITE ADVANCING part.
