New line feed in SAP ABAP

Question

Hello All,
I am facing problems to handle long text in my RFC. I have created a field with character type of length 1000. Client sending data into it. ultimately i need to pass that text into Inspection text of material master creation. I devided it as 72 character lengh and paasing it into material master. but when passes text as continueous line its working fine. when data sent as different lines, it is calculating 72 characters and deviding the text.  client passing data as follows..
1.Material master creation
2.Created by Joy
3. created on 29.05.2009
4.To be maintained in all plants of US
but when 72 characters are over it is starting it from next line as follows..
1.Material master creation
2.Created by Joy
3. created o                   ( if 72 characters over here)
n 29.05.2009
4.To be maintained in all plants of US
is there any way to identify the next line feed in ABAP and other logic to handle this situvation.
If u haven't get my problem pls ask me i will explain it further.

Few questions which might help to understand the issue.
1. Is client's data is coming in more than 72 chars per each line? Then you can request client to send the data with max. 72 chars per line. Else dividing the string into 72 chars will loose the readability of text since logic can not be built to divide the text.
Start reading the text string starting from left for maximum 72 chars . If 72th character is non space then go backwards i.e. read 71, 70, 69... till last character should be a SPACE.
Eg. string is
'xxxxxxxxxxx...........This material is created for plant xyz. date of creation is 03.02.2009'.
x = string72(1) should be a SPACE else take x = string71(1)  and likewise.
