x'25' is definitely "line feed", or in Unix parlance, "new line".

Unix programs send that character to designate the end of a line of 
text.  A Unix terminal would automatically scroll the screen by 1 line, 
and move the cursor to the first column when the newline character is 
encountered.  (QShell will as well, if you view the text on the screen. 
 As will the EDTF/DSPF command.)

So, to answer Rob's question... it denotes the end of a line.
Unless you KNOW you'll only receive one line, I suggest not just xlate...
