I wanted to follow up on this message (saw it through the digest). New lines actually are invalid characters in a USMARC record. There are a number of characters that are not allowed, and these happen to be two of them. Essentially, MARC fields cannot be multi-line. This is why MarcEdit's MARCengine automatically will sanitize this data away during the breaking process and why records in the mnemonic format cannot be multi-lined.
