RE: Using sed to replace all instances with a hex value

I think I may have not relayed my problem well enough. My problem is that
the new line (i.e. \n) isn't working - or any excaped character for that
matter.

For example, given the following content in /home/aaron/file1.txt:
-----------------------------------------------
This is a test to see if a new line will be created for each time the letter
i is found.
-----------------------------------------------

Now I run the following sed statement:
sed 's/i/\n/g' /home/aaron/file1.txt > /home/aaron/file2.txt

file2.txt now contains:
-----------------------------------------------
Thns ns a test to see nf a new lnne wnll be created for each tnme the letter
n ns found.
-----------------------------------------------

Note how it simply replaced all letter 'i' instances with 'n' instead of
creating a new line like it should have. Can somebody else run the same on
their system to see if I may need to load some PTF's? Note that I looked
for PTF's at Fix Central, but found none for sed.

I am at V5R3.

Thanks,
