ASCII control codes

I realize that you have already received the information that CR is
x'0D' and LF x'25' in EBCDIC CCSID 37, but for your information there
is an API in OS/400 that returns this type of information.  The API
is Get Control Function Definition and is named QTQGCTL in QSYS and also
CDRGCTL in QSYS2.

This API returns control function values for space, substitute, new line,
line feed, carriage return, and end of file, for a given CCSID.  The
API is documented under National Language Support APIs, section
Character Data Representation Architecture (CDRA) APIs.
