Verify End-Of-Line Characters in lawson.env file

If you are installing Lawson Core Technology on a machine where a previous version of Lawson was installed, then you may have an exsting lawson.env file. You must check this file to ensure that End-Of-Line character values are set correctly.

Note:  If the End-Of-Line character values for the lawson.env file are not *CRLF, then the file can become "skewed" and unusable during the installation.
  1. From an OS/400 command line, type:

    edtf '/etc/lawson.env'

    If an empty file is displayed, then the file does not exist. Press F12 to exit without update, then skip the rest of this section and continue with the installation.

  2. Press F15 for Services and verify that selection 5, "Stream file EOL option" says *CRLF.

    If it is already set to *CRLF skip the rest of this section and continue with the installation.

    -or-

    If it does not, type 5 in the "Selection" field and type *CRLF in selection 5, "Stream file EOL option" (the value for "User defined" should be blank).

  3. Press Enter, then press F3 to exit the "EDTF Options Screen". Press F2 to Save and F3 to Exit the Edit File command.
