I've give you an example, since data is senstive. It is a fixed width file downloaded from Mainframe via FTP. This is the what the file would look like (in Unix Env).
Col1 Char5
Col2 Char5
Col3 Char20
Col4 Char5
Expected Format:
12345abcdeMy name is Jack SmitSVY01
Actual Format
12345abcdMy name is
Jack SmitSVY01
There was an embedded (\n) after "My name is" and automatically forced a new line...furthermore, each record has a (\n) as its record delimter (not visibly shown).
I would like to remove the embedded LF (\n) BUT not the record delimiter.
Thanks
