How to break line in REXX

Question

Can anyone tell me how to break line in rexx language. E.g: say "ala has a cat"0D0A"Cat has a ala"

in result I would like have: ala has a cat Cat has a ala

I want to post data to a pushgateway server and the syntax requires enter at the end of the line

Hex 0D0A is a carriage return new line so if you add that to the end of your string it will look like an "enter". If you don't need the new line just remove the 0A from the CRLF variable.

CRLF = "0D0A"x
say "ala has a cat Cat has a ala" CRLF

If you need each line separately use

CRLF = "0D0A"x
say "ala has a cat" CRLF "Cat has a ala" CRLF

Thank you for your response but in my environment it does not work: /* REXX */ CRLF = "0D0A"x say "ala has a cat" CRLF "Cat has a ala" CRLF I have output: IKT00405I SCREEN ERASURE CAUSED BY ERROR RECOVERY PROCEDURE *** do you know why this can happen? – bartezzzz Feb 21 '20 at 08:41
Not a clue but what is your environment? – Dave Feb 21 '20 at 11:54

You're working in TSO on z/OS. Your data is almost certainly encoded in EBCDIC, not ASCII. – Ross Patterson Oct 10 '20 at 12:25

In z/os REXX you can a = "good" , /* skip to next line */ "morning"
