Hi I am writing an automation script in Maximo that fires on a cron task. I am having trouble inserting a line break in my print statement. I have tried '\n' & just adding a print() in between my prints. Neither are working and all my prints are being packed into one line in my log file.

How are you viewing your log file? `\n` usually works for me, and I view my logs with Notepad++. Maybe you need to look at your logs using a different tool. – Preacher Nov 20 '19 at 20:36

I am using notepad++ as well – Quinn Nov 21 '19 at 14:20

I don't know if this will help, but if I go to `Settings` > `Preferences` > `New Document`, my `Format (Line ending)` is set to `Windows (CR LF)`. Also, on the `Edit` menu I found the `EOL Conversion` submenu which you might find helpful. – Preacher Nov 21 '19 at 15:40

You could instead use the provided log() method on the service implicit variable to achieve the same result. Every call will generate a line in your log file. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLLAM_7.6.0/com.ibm.mbs.doc/autoscript/r_variables_automation_scripts.html
Also, if you want more control on the log levels, you can get a logger directly from the Logger API which is basically a Log4J wrapper:
from psdi.util.logging import MXLoggerFactory
logger = MXLoggerFactory.getLogger("maximo.integration")
logger.info("Integration logger used from automation script")
You would then control its log level from the Logging application.

Will the log() method show on the logs in both debug and error log level? – Quinn Nov 18 '19 at 20:37

@Quinn The log level should follow the log level defined on the script. – JPTremblay Nov 18 '19 at 21:13

Using the log() method will achieve the correct result. If you also do want to still use print I have found out \n will only work if it is preceded by \r in a Maximo automation script like '\r\n'
