Automic Workload Automation

The Automation Engine uses two different line separators, depending on context.

UC_CRLF script function

The AE script function UC_CRLF() returns an MS-DOS-style newline: a carriage return and a line feed (CR LF or \r \n).

Script

:SET &CRLF# = UC_CRLF()

:SET &CRLF_HEX# = HEX(&CRLF#)
:PRINT &&CRLF_HEX#: &CRLF_HEX#

Results

U00020408 &CRLF_HEX#: 0D0A

Multi-line object variables

In multi-line object variables, the line separator character is just a linefeed (LF or \n).

Script

:SET &NEWLINE_HEX# = HEX(&NEWLINE#)
:PRINT &&NEWLINE_HEX#: &NEWLINE_HEX#

Results

U00020408 &NEWLINE_HEX#: 0A
