@TheHeurist-- In that case, I can hazard a guess. And to be emphasize: its a guess. I haven't dealt with commodity partnerships, so take this as if a stranger 3 bar stools away was just yelling stuff at the TV. You may want to post a separate question to try to get a less guessy answer.
But the reason Ordinary Gain is such a large part of MLP calculations is that they have these massive pipelines that have huge amounts of depreciation, and those depreciation calculations drive both the "Business Income" line (box 1) and the "Ordinary Gain" line on sale. Your commodity ETF likely doesn't appear to have any "Business Income", probably doesn't have any depreciation or inventory, and so probably doesn't have anything going on that would generate Ordinary Gain. So its not showing anything on the Sales Schedule because it is actually $0.
