The text in the IFS file is readable by a PC text editor like Notepad. The

I tried both "25" and "0A". Neither made a change. What did appear is a
character that reminds me of the cut-out on the left side of a violin.

It helps me to remember is that stream files do not have line breaks,
regardless of the presentation that Notepad is offering our eyes.
There are no records, just a continuous stream of characters. When
Notepad comes across a certain special combination, it breaks the line
for display purposes. The point of this is that the program needs to
put the exact same special characters into the file, or Notepad won't
do the line break logic. That means the RPG program needs to do two
things exactly right:
1) Use the right CCSID / encoding
2) Use the proper sequence of characters

In the RPG program, what CCSID is the IFS file being written with?
When you WRKLNK, what CCSID does the file report as?
If you use WRKLNK, display the file contents and look at it in hex.
What are the hex values of the line endings?
