I know nothing about the context of your file, but if it is a fixed width file, it may see it as an attempt to go beyond the width of the record (line).  (Shortening a record would be perfectly o.k. in those instances.)

> Greetings to the -L,
> 
> Environment: e3000-979 running MPE/iX 6.5
> 
> I know that I can use the following command to replace CR+LF with LF:
> 
>   tr '-d "\012"' < file1 > file2
>  
> From what I can see the 'tr' command will not let me replace LF with
> CR+LF. 
> 
> Any recommended methods to do this would be appreciated.
