EOL Initialization Variable

See Also

Sets the end-of-line character used when VSS gets text files.

Syntax

EOL = {n|rn}

Example

Uses a carriage-return/line-feed pair at the end of each text line:

EOL = rn

Remarks

Different operating systems use different end-of-line characters in text files. UNIX uses a line feed; MS-DOS uses a carriage-return/line-feed pair.

No matter what end-of-line character VSS finds in a file, it reads it correctly. This initialization variable affects what character VSS outputs when it gets a text file. By default, VSS uses the standard for its operating system. If you set this variable, VSS uses whatever character you specify.
