  The SAP error message /UI5/UI5_REP062 File contains different line feeds. Mixed line feeds are not supported typically occurs when you are trying to upload or process a file in SAP UI5 that has inconsistent line endings. This can happen if the file was created or edited in different environments (e.g., Windows, Unix/Linux, or Mac), which use different characters for line breaks.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mixed Line Endings: The file may contain a mix of line endings, such as:
  
  Windows: Carriage Return + Line Feed (CRLF, \r\n)
  Unix/Linux: Line Feed (LF, \n)
  Old Mac: Carriage Return (CR, \r)
  
  
  
  File Transfer Issues: If the file was transferred between systems with different line ending conventions, it may have retained mixed line endings.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to standardize the line endings in the file. Here are some steps you can take:
  
  
  Use a Text Editor:
  
  Open the file in a text editor that can display and convert line endings (e.g., Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text).
  Convert the line endings to a single format (preferably LF for Unix/Linux or CRLF for Windows).
  
  In Notepad++, you can do this by going to Edit > EOL Conversion and selecting the desired format.
  In Visual Studio Code, you can change the line ending format from the bottom-right corner of the window.
  
  
  
  
  
  Command Line Tools:
  
  If you are comfortable with command line tools, you can use commands like dos2unix or unix2dos to convert the file:
  
  To convert from Windows to Unix: dos2unix filename
  To convert from Unix to Windows: unix2dos filename
  
  
  
  
  
  Re-save the File:
  
  Open the file in a text editor and simply re-save it after ensuring that the line endings are consistent.
  
  
  
  Check for Hidden Characters:
  
  Sometimes, hidden characters can cause issues. Make sure to check for and remove any unwanted characters.
