RE: Line-ending for IFS test stream file

I don't know how to preserve both the CR and LF, but from Wikipedia it appears your last line should have at least LF.

Subject: Line-ending for IFS test stream file

Hi folks,

I've got a program which opens, reads, scans the data modifying some of the content, then writes and truncates a file in the IFS. It uses the open, write, ftruncate, and close APIs. The open uses the o_TextData flag so the CCSIDs are automatically converted for my program to manipulate the data on the IBM i. Everything works great with the exception that the line ending carriage-return and line feed (CRLF) is being changed. When I debug the program and step through file scanning, the CRLF is being processed correctly--i.e., I see the two bytes processed at the end of each line.
But when the file is re-written and closed, the CRLF is modified to simply be a carriage-return.

This isn't a problem most of the time, but there are cases where the PC program which later uses the processed data isn't recognizing the last line of data since it doesn't end with CRLF. Is there an option I've overlooked or something I can do to preserve the CRLF?

Thanks,
Michael Quigley
