textarea text lost in ITS when using carriage return

Question

If the user hits carriage return in a <textarea>, i.e. to create a new line of text, everything after the carriage return is ignored by R/3 when retrieving the text.
Is there a way to avoid this loss of text.
Thanks

Try with this.
On the html:
<textarea name="ztdline1[]" cols="100" rows="3">`if (ztdline1.dim > 0)` `repeat with r from 1 to 3; if ( ztdline1[r] != "*" ) ;write (strSub (ztdline1[r], 3, 132), "\r\n"); end; end` `end`</textarea>
On the PBO dynpro:
  loop at ztdline1 cursor top_line.
  endloop.
On the PAI dynpro:
  module get_text1.
  loop.
  endloop.
where module get_text1 is:
  clear ztdline1.
  refresh ztdline1.
  do.
    field-get 'ZTDLINE1' sy-index message_line datalen.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      exit.
    endif.
    read table message_line index 1.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
      ztdline1-tdline = message_line.
      append ztdline1.
    else.
      clear ztdline1-tdline.
      append ztdline1.
    endif.
  enddo.
