APAR status

Error description

• 1)Identify platform versions
  RPM7.1.1.1, Windows XP SP2 client
  
  2)Overview of problem

  ng from

  k will be
  automatically converted 0A (LF) -? 0D0A (CR+LF).
  
  3)Steps to reproduce
  1.  Input RTF in any portlet and check-in. (at this time it is 0
  d0a).
  2. Open OLAP pivot with this RTF field.
  3. Output to csv file. Open it with binary editor. See it become
  s 0d0d0a.
  (It remains 0d0a in non-RTF field)
  
  4)Solutions or workaround for the problem
  Modify custom codes to recognize both line break codes
