Re: CR LF in RPG

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

The x'25' is EBCDIC for linefeed (LF).  x'0d' is the same in ASCII and 
EBCDIC, a carriage return (CR).

It sounds like your text is not getting converted from EBCDIC to ASCII.  
Maybe it's already all ASCII?  x'25' in ASCII is a percent sign (%).
