Overriding default end-of-line character for UNIX or WinNT
- Subject: Overriding default end-of-line character for UNIX or WinNT

SQR Version: 3.0.18 (moving to 4.3.4)
DB: Oracle 8i
OS: UNIX Solaris 8 and Windows NT
App: PeopleTools 6.1
Situation: I create an extract file from PeopleSoft (using SQR "Open $File as
1 For-Writing" and "Write 1 from") running on an Oracle DB. The SQR program
can be run from a UNIX server or on a Windows client (and the resulting files
are deposited in a UNIX or Windows directory, respectively). When run on the
UNIX server, the resulting extract file has a one-byte end-of-file marker which
is HEX '0A' (line feed) and when run on Windows, each line is terminated with
two bytes, HEX '0A' and '0D' (line feed/carriage return). I believe this is
all normal.
I would like my extract file to always have the same line termination
character, no matter if I run it from UNIX or Windows. Is there a way
over-ride either OS file I/O default from SQR to force either '0A' or '0A 0D'
from either UNIX or Windows?
Thanks,
