Fill the remainder of your record with blanks. The dots, as you should know, represent un-displayable characters. If you turn hex on you will see the actual values.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

The dots are not dots, they are just how the system shows you non-displayable characters. They are probably binary-zeros.

If you add ,80:X to your BUILD, an X (which is a blank) is placed in column 80. Any intervening colums which have to be created between your data and column 80 will be space-padded.

For you requirement:

//CTRCLCD1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
 OPTION COPY
 INREC BUILD=(1,16,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,
                        LEAD=C'ACTION=LIST,RESOURCE=ADCOM,ADID=',
                        TRAIL=C',STATUS=A;',
                        LENGTH=80))
                                                                 
//SORTIN   DD *

AACBOEQ

Don't just use it, you need to understand it. So do some research, then tell us what it does.

Yes..

you can add spaces at last
i.e after last ; you can fill with spaces by giving C' '
