Line Feed?

[Geek8]

Dear Experts,
I am totally perplexed by a issue that came up at work today. We have a ASCII file sitting on a Linux box. There are over 900,000 records in that file and each record is 2732 bytes long. I need to add a line feed to each record to show the end. The record then would become 2733 bytes in length. How could I do this successfully? I am sure there has to be a easy way to do this. I can't think of anything.
Second question...If i run the dd command on Linux for converting EBCDIC to ASCII, will this add the linefeed?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Geek8

Try

fold -2732 infile > outfile

If you are using dd to convert it from EBCDIC to ASCII you should be able to add

ob=2732

to the dd command to achieve the same thing
