It's hard to understand how this could be happening. The stream used to write to CSV files is opened via fdopen(), which should interpret the mode string properly to make the stream a text or binary stream.  However, the code in question wasn't passing O_BINARY or O_TEXT properly to the preceding open() call.  I don't think that's supposed to matter, but maybe it does in practice. Anyhow, if that's the problem, I've now fixed it, via commit 4f36eb1c4b91 ("make-file: Pass O_BINARY or O_TEXT to open() call in replace_file_start().").

Bug:
SAVE TRANSLATE /TYPE=CSV always output LF as line end

Expected:
It must be FILE HANDLE /ENDS={value} or CRLF on Windows by default

Suggested fix:

Instead of putc('\n');
in  csv-file-writer.c / csv_write_case()
and csv-file-writer.c / write_var_names()

must be same logic as in
  data-writer.c/dfm_put_record()
     case FH_MODE_TEXT:

something like:
  if (w->opts->line_ends == FH_END_CRLF)...

Of course, w->opts must have line_ends initialized in csv_writer_options_init().

Workaround:

Use WRITE instead of SAVE TRANSLATED until problem fixed. WRITE works as expected.
