You don't tell us what if any edits are on field 28
You don't tell us what is actually on the disk (I'm going to guess the LF's are)
You don't tell us how you are pulling the data from field 28 in the other app
	that reads field 28 sends it to the "softrol routing machine"
You don't tell us what you really want in field 28. It seems like you want
	hex 59 0A, since I can't see any condition where the second to last line
	(the one with the comma) could be true. The line above always makes
	field 28 equal to "Y" AFAICT before you append the LF character.
