The end of line character on an IBM mainframe is the newline character (same as it is on Ascii platforms). The value, however, is different. It is a hex 0x25 (EBCDIC)
To skip to a new line when reading from a file, assuming you are using a sequentially organized file, the usual case, you need to read and discard characters until you encounter the end-of-line character.
In general each command in a script file is on a separate line, so it is terminated with a line terminator character (put it automatically when you press the Enter key). Unlike some programming languages, a script file does not need a special terminator for the end of the line.
The end of line (EOL) character marks the end of a line in a text file or document. It helps control how text is displayed and ensures proper formatting when files are viewed or edited using different platforms or programs.
HI... When you access a file from within C or C++ you have a choice between treating the file as a binary file or as a text file. C uses the fopen(file,mode) statement to open a file and the mode identifies whether you are opening the file to read, write, or append and also whether the file is to be opened in binary or text mode. C++ opens a file by linking it to a stream so you don't specify whether the file is to be opened in binary or text mode on the open statement. Instead the method that you use to read and/or write to the file determines which mode you are using. If you use the operator to write to the file then the file will be accessed in text mode. If instead you use the put() and get() or read()and write() functions then the file will be accessed in binary mode. So what exactly is the difference between text and binary modes? Well the difference is that text files contain lines (or records) of text and each of these has an end-of-line marker automatically appended to the end of it whenever you indicate that you have reached the end of a line. There is an end of line at the end of the text written with the C fwrite() function or in C++ when you
To read a pipe-delimited file in COBOL on the mainframe, you first need to define the file in the FILE SECTION of your program with the appropriate attributes. Use the READ statement to read records from the file into a working storage area. After reading a record, you can use the UNSTRING statement to split the data into individual fields based on the pipe (|) delimiter. Finally, ensure to handle any necessary error checks and end-of-file conditions.
There are two file types in C++ namely, text file and binary file. In text file EOF or end of file is represented by an end of file character having ASCII 26. In binary files EOF or end of file is represented by NULL in the file pointer

Windows uses a character sequence to indicate the of a line, which is usually a carriage return - line feed sequence. This is two characters for the end of every line. You might see a sequence of x'0D0A' characters to end a line in Windows. UNIX uses the concept of a 'newline', which is a single character (usually a X'0A' character) to indicate the end of a line.
Both platforms are ASCII platforms, but the difference is the line termination character. In Windows, there is a two character sequence to denote the end of the line (CR/LF sequence, 0D0A) For Unix, the line termination character is the newline character (0A), to denote the end of the text line.
The short character sequence at the end of a file name, preceded by a period, is called a file extension. It typically indicates the file type or format, such as ".txt" for text files or ".jpg" for image files. File extensions help operating systems and applications determine how to handle and open the file.
