If your app validates against a DTD or a schema then it should
ignore whitespace between defined elements.

If you really need to get rid of it, then check the record
format.

If it lf_stream, then the suggestion:

$ SET FILE/ATTR=RAT:CR filename

should fix the problem.

After that convert it with:

$ CONVERT/FDL=NLA0: inputfile outputfile
