Confusing NetRexx source code

[Jason Martin]

In DiagComment.nrx

nrx code on line 150: (REPLACED ACTUAL CHAR WITH <ctrl-L>)

  ffs=int('\f')<ctrl-L>'f-f'<ctrl-L><ctrl-L>'f-f2'

Java source for this line is :

  ffs=java.lang.String.valueOf((int)('\f'))+" "+"f-f"+" "+"f-f2";


Are the formfeeds actually needed or is this some Editor artifact?

This is a testcase and at that point it's testing 'white space'.  So at a guess it's checking that formfeeds are properly being treated as 'white space'?

Thanks.
I thought later, maybe it might be some kind of test to see if NetRexxC could process source files with embedded form feeds.

It does need to be commented for future reference.
