Whoto remove line feed control character from report output

Hi All Hope someone can help me with this little pain. I am creating a output flat file for a 3rd party company. The file is fix length 80columns. After sending the file to the 3rd party I was informed that there is a line feed character at position 81. Only when viewing the file in TextPad did I manage to see the special character. In the vi editor I can't see the LF character. Now how do I remove this character from each line of the file. Can the 4gl report do this for me?

I usually remove ^M using vi command ':%s!^M!!g'. ^M is entered as Ctrl+V Ctrl+M > Now how do I remove this character from each line of the file. Can the > 4gl report do this for me? > OS= SCO >
