JR32634: ROUTINES SEEN FROM DESIGNER INCLUDE STRANGE CHARACTERS INSTEAD OF THE CARRIAGE RETURN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Routines seen from Designer include strange characters instead
  of the carriage return causing difficulties in reading the code
  and comments of these routines.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All unix platforms will not be able to display source code for
  built-in routines correctly
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Routine source code for built-in routines will not display
  correctly for Unix systems. Also, long descriptions for
  built-in objects will not display multiple lines correctly.
       This is caused because
  the built-in objects are being created  with the wrong line
  termination characters on a unix system.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Install patch_JR32634_client_windows_81
  This change is included in 8.1 FP1
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Client patch created for 8.1 - editors for Data Elements,
  Routines, Table Definitions and Transforms will check for unix
  line terminators and, if present, change them to DOS line
   terminators.
  
  A further fix will be done in a later release to ensure that
  thecorrect line termination characters are used when the
  built-in  objects are created.
