Cause

These errors are usually due to incorrect line terminators in a script i.e. DOS CR/LF versus Unix LF.

Environment

All versions of Gateway

Resolution

It is possible to convert the file to use correct UNIX terminators by using the Dos2Unix command (either d2u or dos2unix). The line terminator problem is usually caused by saving the script in a Windows file editor.
