Have Personal Communications ignore Line Breaks during paste

Currently Personal Communications has the ability to ignore line breaks when pasting data into a VT Session. We would like the same capability when pasting in to a TN3270 session.
This is a feature available with the Product we are replacing with PCOMM, it is used by out Business users.

    Ignoring line breaks as a feature cannot be provided for PCOMM's 3270 sessions, as the current design of paste functionality does lot of screen and field attribute validation to paste (or not paste, paste to next screen). Therefore, ignoring line breaks is not possible.

    Rejecting the RFE, unless there is a specific use case with a strong justification.
    Please feel free to reopen the RFE, if you still think this is a very important enhancement request.
