awk works pretty well on it:
Code:
awk '{print substr($0,3)}' file
20160103163815D250014A01000000100119103000000IP4920150000000000002016-01-03-16.38.15.640000SYSTPRPO20
.
.
.

so I can't replicate your problem. But - you may try this
Code:
LC_ALL=C sed 's/^..//' file
20160103163815D250014A01000000100119103000000IP4920150000 . . .

and come back with the results.

ISGRAPH(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						ISGRAPH(3)

NAME
isgraph -- printing character test (space character exclusive) LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h> int isgraph(int c); DESCRIPTION
The isgraph() function tests for any printing character except space (' ') and other locale-specific space-like characters. The value of the argument must be representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF. In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (preceded by their numeric values, in octal): 041 ``!'' 042 ``"'' 043 ``#'' 044 ``$'' 045 ``%'' 046 ``&'' 047 ``''' 050 ``('' 051 ``)'' 052 ``*'' 053 ``+'' 054 ``,'' 055 ``-'' 056 ``.'' 057 ``/'' 060 ``0'' 061 ``1'' 062 ``2'' 063 ``3'' 064 ``4'' 065 ``5'' 066 ``6'' 067 ``7'' 070 ``8'' 071 ``9'' 072 ``:'' 073 ``;'' 074 ``<'' 075 ``='' 076 ``>'' 077 ``?'' 100 ``@'' 101 ``A'' 102 ``B'' 103 ``C'' 104 ``D'' 105 ``E'' 106 ``F'' 107 ``G'' 110 ``H'' 111 ``I'' 112 ``J'' 113 ``K'' 114 ``L'' 115 ``M'' 116 ``N'' 117 ``O'' 120 ``P'' 121 ``Q'' 122 ``R'' 123 ``S'' 124 ``T'' 125 ``U'' 126 ``V'' 127 ``W'' 130 ``X'' 131 ``Y'' 132 ``Z'' 133 ``['' 134 ``'' 135 ``]'' 136 ``^'' 137 ``_'' 140 ```'' 141 ``a'' 142 ``b'' 143 ``c'' 144 ``d'' 145 ``e'' 146 ``f'' 147 ``g'' 150 ``h'' 151 ``i'' 152 ``j'' 153 ``k'' 154 ``l'' 155 ``m'' 156 ``n'' 157 ``o'' 160 ``p'' 161 ``q'' 162 ``r'' 163 ``s'' 164 ``t'' 165 ``u'' 166 ``v'' 167 ``w'' 170 ``x'' 171 ``y'' 172 ``z'' 173 ``{'' 174 ``|'' 175 ``}'' 176 ``~'' RETURN VALUES
The isgraph() function returns zero if the character tests false and returns non-zero if the character tests true. COMPATIBILITY
The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete and may not be supported in future releases. The iswgraph() function should be used instead. SEE ALSO
ctype(3), isalnum_l(3), iswgraph(3), ascii(7) STANDARDS
The isgraph() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90''). BSD
