Long ago, in an experiment, I did it by feeding a RECFM=VB file to INTRDR. Need
to have at least one line longer than 80, and two lines of unequal lengths.
(Most people wouldn't do that!)
Maybe:
// EXPORt NOTHING
// SET NOTHING=''
Then code your empty line as:
//SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY
...
&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING&NOTHING
(And hope the interpreter doesn't pad it back to 80 bytes.) Isn't JCL fun!?
Or, if you own the Rexx component, modify it to strip trailing blanks.
Or, if you can code in hex instead of a blank line, begin the next line with
x'0D15' (or maybe x'0D25', depending on which translate table FTP uses).
