Issue/Introduction
After adding an ASCII file to Endevor and browsing it in Endevor, it is all gibberish:
-------------------------- SOURCE LEVEL INFORMATION ------------------

******************************** Bottom of Data **********************
How can an ASCII element be added to Endevor so it is readable?
Cause
Endevor does not perform an ASCII to EBCDIC conversion of files when adding the file to Endevor.
Environment
Release : 18.0 18.1
Component : CA Endevor Software Change Manager
Resolution
If viewing the file using "3.17 Udlist Print or display (to process) z/OS UNIX directory list" requires using the "VA - View an ASCII file" command to make the file legible, then in Endevor use the following commands when browsing the ASCII file:
SOURCE ASCII;LF
The SOURCE ASCII command performs the same conversion as the VA command
The LF command breaks the single long continuous line stored in Endevor into individual lines.
