So if the lines end with linefeed ('0A'x) and the embedded line breaks also use ('0A'x) then you cannot tell them apart.

But if you can check if the line starts with 'PFS;' then you can probably remove most of the extra line breaks by just checking for that.

data _null_;
  infile 'badfile' termstr=lf ;
  file 'goodfile' recfm=n ;
  input ;
  if _n_>1 then do;
    if substrn(_infile_,1,4)='PFS;' then put '0D0A'x;
    else put '0A'x;
  end;
  put _infile_;
run;

data want;
  infile 'goodfile' termstr=crlf dsd dlm=';' truncover;
  input (var1-var8) (:$30.);
run;
