What is your need? I've been using HIS connected to the z/OS using EE as a transport. Note, current HIS versions no longer support native SNA. And usually HIS is not because of connectivity, because every z/OS is TCP/IP capable. It is because the application rely on SNA. -- Radoslaw Skorupka

Is a unit limited to a single line? Choosing any of those separators loses functionality, unlike using CRLF. Of course, with Unicode there's NEL, but that ship has already sailed. The number of nesting levels is limited by the number of separator characters defined, which is why I wish that ARP

Agree with what? I consider CRLF to be the best choice, given the limitations of ASCII, with RS reasonable if you don't want to support multi-line records. The Multics developers chose not to use CR because that would have prevented overprinting. If you use RS to separate lines then you can't u

To start, there is a difference between how certain code points are defined and how various operating systems use them. For historical reasons, Unix misused the Line Feed (LF) character as a logical new line instead of using the more appropriate 2-character CRLF; other systems, e.g., PC-DOS use
