COBOL printed output is ignoring print control characters

The compiler option NOADV influences this.

If the NOADV compile time option is used, printer control characters are moved into print position 1 by the program.

The output printed file from a COBOL program coded with WRITE REC-NAME without the ADVANCING clause anywhere in the program and compiled NOADV will ignore any program preloaded carriage control characters.
*
DETAILS:
Under COBOL, if the NOADV compile time option is used and the printer control characters are loaded into print position 1 by the program, an AFTER ADVANCING clause must be used at least once in the program to trigger the access method to use the first position of each record as a printer control character. Otherwise, the output will be single spaced, the preloaded character will print as position 1 and the 132nd character will be shifted to the 133rd position and will be lost on a 132 character printer or
spooler.
*
SOLUTION:
Add one WRITE REC-NAME AFTER ADVANCING statement to the program.
*
A second option is available under zOS (or OS390 or MVS/ESA).
The user may code RECFM=FA, FBA, VB, or VBA in the DCB of the output file (or SYSOUT) DD statement and the first character will be analyzed correctly.
