LF—realign the data based on the ASCII linefeed character

The LF macro command allows you to realign the data being edited by interpreting the ASCII linefeed character X'0A'.

The LF macro command is not available when editing a z/OS® UNIX file. Instead, use the ASCII edit facility to automatically realign the data in a z/OS UNIX file based on the ASCII linefeed and carriage return characters. See Working with ASCII data.

Note: If the data is saved, it is saved in the realigned state. There is no command to reverse the alignment. The command should not be executed twice against the data, as the blanks following the linefeed character will be interpreted as part of the data for the next line.
