(OP)
Hi All -- New to forum. Just getting started on brushing off some of my Cobol coding skills. I have GNUcobol install on my Win 10 PC. I've been writing a few simple programs using EditRocket. I'm an old mainframe programmer so getting used to the PC environment. One program I am working on:
1. Input CSV file
2. Unstring it
3. Write to .txt file
Issue: when i write the output record, it is displaying in the output file as one continuous line. I've tried a few different options but can not get the next record to write on a new line. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I prefer the ispf mainframe look-alike editor with all kinds of commands. It takes you some time to get used to it, but in the end you will be much more productive.
You can visit https://www.commandtechnology.com/ to have an idea.
There are situations where the ISPF editor helps you to do something in minutes where less experienced users need more than a week to get the same result.
Much pleasure!

Just as a possibly interesting side note, when reviewing the original issue posted here, my very first thought would have been to look at the SELECT clause definition of the output file in the COBOL program, to make sure that the output file is described as LINE SEQUENTIAL and not just SEQUENTIAL.
Thanks
