JDBC Driver log message to WAS SystemOut.log should be one line long

Current DB2 JDBC Driver may generate error messages in multiple lines format. Looking at the message, it seems that the line feed is unexpectedly inserted in the midst of whole message. DB2 support team responded to PMR 34710,69F,760 that it works as designed, on the other hand, in the same PMR, WAS support team responded that they cannot tell if it is a design or not, but WAS itself is designed to generate log message in a single line and does not generate multiple line log message.

Due to this defect / design, not a few customers can not monitor error messages provided by JDBC driver which might cause critical business service outages.

This is to request swiftly fix / make an enhancement for this behavior.
