If a record has a carriage return (octal 015) then I append the second record to the first record.
Please explain this process in minute detail and include before and after sample data which shows where the carriage-return character(s) may be found in a record and whether you need to RETAIN the carriage-return characters in the output or REMOVE them.

Is this one of those cases where carriage-return characters are valid in a string within a database record?
