Windows, and DOS before it, uses a pair of CR and LF characters to terminate lines. UNIX (Including Linux and FreeBSD) uses an LF character only. OS X also uses a single LF character, but the classic Mac operating system used a single CR character for line breaks. In other words: a complete mess. MVS uses F / V record boundaries to denote newlines. https://www3.rocketsoftware.com/bluezone/help/v50/en/bz/DISPLAY/IND$FILE/IND$FILE_Technical_Reference.htm IND$FiLE uses ASCII CRLF to translate.
