EMPTY_LINE_EOR
EMPTY_LINE_EOR
is a special EOR value which allows an empty line to be used as a record separator. Normally this is not possible as the empty line will be swallowed by the preceding tag or value. Use this as an argument to thesetEndOfRecord
method.An empty line is defined as a line which contains nothing between the start and the following system-defined line separator. Therefore lines which contain only whitespace are not considererd to be empty.
