There is no NL character in ASCII. EBCDIC has an NL at '15'X. Unicode has NEL: Next Line, U+0085. Also, any of these may imply a new line:
LF: Line Feed, U+000A VT: Vertical Tab, U+000B FF: Form Feed, U+000C LS: Line Separator, U+2028 PS: Paragraph Separator, U+2029 Various operating systems use CR, LF or a combination. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

The period symbol matches any one character except the terminal newline character. So how may the programmer match a newline character? I I read in an apparently related publication, <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=functions-regcomp-compile-regular-expression>, $ The dollar symbol matches the end of the string. (Use \n to match a newline character.) Does "\n" work alike for DFSORT? What is the code point for the newline character? It doesn't appear in Appendix D, Table 109 where it should be because it's mentioned elsewhere in the Guide. (I'm guessing it's x'15', but the reader shouldn't need to guess.)
