APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When importing values separated by a single LF character into a
  multiline-string field a CR character gets added before the LF
  in all values except for the last one.
  
  This is typically the case when a multiline-string field that
  has a constant-list for its Choice List gets exported and
  imported again.

  ****************************************************************
  In ClearQuest Eclipse, importing values separated by a
  single LF (Line Feed) character into a multi-line string
  field results in a CR (Carriage Return) being added before
  the LF in all values except for the last one.  This is
  typically the case when a multi-line string field which has
  a constant-list for its Choice List gets exported and
  imported again.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearQuest 8.0.0.8 and 8.0.1.1.
  
  The ClearQuest Eclipse import no longer results in a CR
  (Carriage Return) being added before the  LF (Line Feed) in
  all values except for the last one.
