Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  V6.0.2 and V6.1                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In proxy logs, the line delimiter CRLF  *
  *                      is used. On some UNIX platforms, it     *
  *                      appears as ^M at the end of each line.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  On unix platforms, a CR (carriage return) character should be
  used as the line delimiter. The additional LF (line feed)
  character should be removed from each logging entry.
  

Problem conclusion

• The LF was removed.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpacks 6.0.2.31 and 6.1.0.21.  Please refer to the
