NewLine character problem

Hi,
I am faced with a strange situation.
The ISO field 31 - TRN supports new line characters. In Windows, new
line is taken as two characters - CR & LF where as in Unix it is taken
as LF only. So, TRN needs to be represented with 2 extra fields in
Windows for new line characters where as for Unix processing, 1 extra
field count is needed.
My question is how to make this field OS independent so that the value
04ACRLFB be parsed correctly in Windows and Unix?
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Suvodip
