Problem:
Downloading text file to UNIX file system, which must be later uploaded to Windows file system = problem with white chars CR, LF.

Read especially the part:

Lou,
That's not always true. You can set the CRLF with windows encoding directly in the unix/linux server. Open dataset puts LF only if you aren't too specific in the way you use it.

... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED



So, we can specify directly type of LF - 'NT' or 'UNIX' or we can say WITH ... LINEFEED, which should be NATIVE/SMART/UNIX/WINDOWS
