[J3] WRITE statement with newline character at the end of each record.

Thanks Steve!
I messed up the newline with slash edit descriptor in my original post.

The addition of the colon indeed made the test code pass with other compilers that would otherwise fail.

I'm not seeing any newline character, nor is there allowed to be one in
internal writes like this. What I do see is that after the 10th record,
the slash edit descriptor is processed and that creates an 11th record,
which doesn't exist. Putting a colon before the slash, to stop
processing if there are no more I/O list items, solves that. This looks
like the correct behavior to me.
