[open-cobol-list] line sequential and string.

[John Culleton]

1. Does a line sequential record that is read in and is  
shorter than the receiving record description retain its 
EOL character or is it stripped off?

2. If it retains the EOL character how do I designate it in 
Open Cobol?. I am working on a Linux system. I want to do
a STRING  placing a "}" after the last printable character 
which means I need to use a DELIMITED BY EOL or however 
it is designated in OC.

I can always fill with HIGH VALUES or something and test for 
that but that seems a bit clumsy.
