Sorry, can't help with this. I generally avoid editing files on UNIX and when I do have to edit files, I use the SAS Program Editor to edit Unix text files.

Anjgupta,
some information more perhaps usefull to you

I can attest that under this configuration (i suppose similar to yours)
-a open x11 screen showing a linux interactive sas session on a server
-on a windows pc, using Crimson Editor

you may copy paste every sas results or code
from the sas linux screen to Crimson Editor (i think this is true also for other only text editor but not true for word,open office

if you save you output to a file under linux from the output screen you LOOSE the page skip delimiter
but If under sas linux, you are saving the output with proc printto
then you obtain a file WITH a valid page skip under Windows.

the command print file="~;;;;.lst" is also saving the entire output screen
WITH the page skip delimiter

i think FORMDLIM may possibly change this situation

BUT you solution is to transit through a text editor and no going directly to excel
and then saving it with a correct end of line

Crimson (free) allow this and is well working also for printing under a windows context

You must also know that with the help of an administrator on linux/unix
you can mount under windows a view on the linux/unix server to see under
windows your files (your output sas files of course too)
