Apparently this works for EPCDIC data, but having problem with ASCII carriage control.
A previous poster reiterated how this would be done for EPCDIC:
Or, why not define your trigger as the carriage control in column 1, such as:
TRIGGER1=*,1,X'F1',(TYPE=GROUP)
Attempting to do the same with ASCII data. But if we have on our application indexing CC=YES, and use the carriage control exit for ASCII, Trigger1 can not be found. Have tried CC=NO.
And also tried CC=YES, without the exit which causes the typical
0425-346 DATA IN AN INPUT RECORD OR PAGEDEF RESOURCE IS INVALID: A SKIP TO A NONEXISTENT CHANNEL = '0C'X ON RECORD NUMBER = 1

A quick look at your indexing parameters shows that you're using the same character for newlines as you're searching for in column 1:
FILEFORMAT=STREAM,(NEWLINE=X'0A')
TRIGGER1=*,1,X'0A',(TYPE=GROUP)
I think you'll want to change the character you're looking for in TRIGGER1.

Also tried 0C, which is what we really want (new page). Just didn't show that in first example posted -

The only other thing I've seen regularly is that cover pages prevent 'indexstartby' from working properly. Increase this to 2 or 3 if you have cover pages before your report.
Otherwise, I think I'd need to see some sample data.

Extremely old post but, I have came across this with ASCII reports using the asciinp exit.
I am sure by now your issue is resolved but try this for future reference:
Original:
TRIGGER1=*,1,X'0A',(TYPE=GROUP)
New:
TRIGGER1=*,*,X'0A',(TYPE=GROUP)
