I'm reading some data from the IFS. I'm then scanning it for a value,
but it's not working.
Here's the data, without the quotes:
"
blah blah [variable] blah blah
"
So there's a new line or carriage return on the very first line, and at
the end of the 2nd line. The value I'm scanning for is [variable].
When I start the scan in position one, the value is not found. If I
start the scan in position 2, the scan finds the search value. Through
a variety of position testing, it appears to me that once the scan
encounters the new line character, it stops scanning and returns a 0,
not found.

I'm on v5r4. Has anyone encountered this? Does this make sense for
some reason that I'm not thinking of?
