The acif

command

examines

the

first

six

bytes

of the

line

data

record

of

the

input

file,

to

determine

w

input

file

is

ASCII

or

EBCDIC.

If

ACIF

determines

th

input file is ASCII, ACIF looks for the ASCII newline

character'0A (X') to delimit the end of a record. If

determines

that

the

input

file

is EBCDIC, ACIF looks f

the

EBCDIC

newline character'25 ') (Xto

delimit

the

end

 

of a record. If the input record is MO:DCA-P, no ne

character is requiredacif .commandThe does not include

 

newline characters

you

ca

newline

 

if

you

want

to

specify

character

not the standard default. For example,

 

you could

use

newline

 

as

follows:

Ifnewline
